Electoral Registration

If you move house

If you move house or if your registration details change for any other reason at anytime between November and September, you can apply to be entered on the register or have your details changed by filling in a Registration Form.

The law fixes the dates when we can update the register each month as follows:

When you send us your form, we will add you to our list of new applications. Any elector can then object to your name being added to the register. If this happens, we will write to you.

If your application is not objected to, we will change your details within 7 weeks of receiving your form.

We will also tell the Electoral Registration Officer for your old address that you have moved, so that your name can be removed from that register.

People who live at 2 homes (including students) are allowed to register at both.

There are special rules about names being added to the voters list during an election period. Because of these you may not be able to vote at that election if you are added during this time.

You will need a separate Voter Registration Form for each person whose details have changed.
