Register to vote

With only one day to go until the voter registration deadline for the General Elections on 4 July, anyone wanting to vote must make sure they are election ready.

The deadline to register to vote is midnight tomorrow, 18 June. Voters can apply online here.

Voters have a range of options – they can vote in person, by post or by appointing someone they trust to vote in their place, known as a proxy vote. The deadline to apply for a postal vote is 5pm on 19 June. The deadline to apply for a proxy vote is a week later, 5pm on 26 June.

This is the first General Election that voters will need to show photo ID to vote at a polling station. This is a requirement, introduced by the UK Government’s Elections Act. To find out which ID you can use in the polling station, visit the Electoral Commission website.

If you do not have one of the accepted types of ID, you can apply for free ID online here or by completing and submitting a paper form to your local authority.

You must apply by 5pm on 26 June, to be able to use the Voter Authority Certificate on 4 July.
