Registering to vote
You can only vote in elections if:
- your name is on the register
- you are a British, Irish, Qualifying Commonwealth or European Union citizen.
Please note that:
- every person must register themselves individually
- one person can no longer register for everyone who lives at their address
- registering for other council services does not register you to vote.
