Personal registration forms
Most people who wish to register will use the personal registration
form. This form should be used when a person moves from
one property to another or if the person has a change of
circumstances, for example a change of name by marriage. Please
complete the Personal Registration form and return it to
Electoral Services. If you have
difficulty completing the form please refer to the guidance notes.
You can register to vote if you are:
- 16 or over (but you cannot vote until you are 18)
- a UK, Republic of Ireland or Commonwealth citizen
- a citizen of a European Union country and you are living in the
UK
- a citizen of the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or a British
Overseas Territory and you are living in the UK

European Union Citizen's registration form
|
This form is for use by European Union Citizens who wish to make
the "second", voluntary registration, which will entitle them to
vote in elections to the European Parliament in the United Kingdom.
All citizens of the Member States of the European Union who are
normally resident in the United Kingdom must register as electors.
That "first" registration permits these electors to vote in City
Council and Parish Council Elections. European Union Citizens who
do not wish to make this "second" registration remain entitled to
vote in elections to the European Parliament in their Member
State.

Applications to amend opt-In or opt-out details on the register
of electors.

An elector may opt to have their name and address excluded from
the "Edited Register" (the public version of the Register). This
"opting out" is normally done at the time of the annual household
registration in September, however this form may be used by any
elector to opt-in or opt-out again at any point throughout the
year.
