Registering to Vote

The revised Register of Electors is published on 1 December each year. After this date each individual must make a separate application to register. 

Lists of alterations are published on the first working day of each month from January to September. This can include new additions, deletions or even amendments to the register, such as correcting spelling errors or changing your name on marriage.

A timetable showing the relevant dates is set out below.

Monthly rolling registration is suspended during the annual registration campaign which runs from early August to 1 December.

After 1 December the monthly registration process begins again until the following August.

Once the alteration has taken effect, we will write to all those affected confirming the alteration. In the case of additions to the register it will be useful to keep this as proof your inclusion in the register, as it can take credit reference agencies some time to update their records.
