How to register as a voter
The Voters’ Register is a list of all those residents in the Borough who are eligible to vote in various elections. If you are not on the Register, you cannot vote.
The Register is compiled during the autumn by an annual canvass of all households within the Borough, and must reflect the position as at the qualifying date of 15 October. The Register is published each year on 1 December.
Once published the Register is updated on the first working day of each month, under a Rolling Registration scheme which is in force between 1 December and 8 August. Between 9 August and 30 November the monthly updating of the Register of Electors is suspended whilst the annual canvass is undertaken.
For more information on registering to vote between
- 8 August and 30 November 2008 please see the Autumn Registration page
- 1 December 2008 and 12 August 2009 please see the December to August Voter Registration page
For information on eligibility to vote please see the Eligibility to Vote page

Instead please click on the “About My Vote” link on the right of this page which will take you to a website which will inform you of your Council’s address to which you can send the registration form you can download from that website.
