Am I eligible to vote?
The elections that you can vote in usually depend on your nationality and residency status.
How do I register to vote?
You can register to vote at any time by applying online.

How do I vote?
If you choose to vote in person, your poll letter tell you where to go to vote.
If you want to vote by post you must apply in writing to the Electoral Registration Office (details below). Application forms can be obtained from the Electoral Registration Office or on the Electoral Commission homepage (opens new window). If your application is granted a postal pack will be sent to the address you request.
Once you've used your postal vote you can't change your mind and vote at a polling station. However, you can cancel your vote by writing to the Electoral Registration Office. Details of the deadline for cancellation are included in your postal pack.

If you are unable to vote in person you can appoint someone to vote on your behalf.
Voting by proxy means you nominate a person to vote on your behalf at your designated polling station. If your nominated proxy can't attend your polling station, the appointed proxy can apply to vote by post (postal proxy vote).
Your nominated proxy:
- must be registered to vote and qualify to vote in the Election (UK Parliamentary Election)
- may act as a proxy for a maximum of four electors of which no more than two can be for 'domestic' electors - i.e. not an overseas elector nor a service voter.
- must have valid voter ID if voting in person at the polling station.
Application forms can be obtained from the Electoral Registration Office or on the Electoral Commission homepage (opens new window).
