Personal Registration

 

The majority of the sections on the Personal Registration form are self-explanatory.  Please add you name, date of birth, nationality, address and the date you on which you moved in sections 1 to 6.

 

Section 7 -	At Peterborough City Council, we ask you to provide documentary evidence to support your application.  Please enclose a document such as a:-   Gas, water, electricity, telephone or other utility bill; Council Tax / Benefit entitlement notification; Bank, Building Society or Credit Card Statement; Rent book, tenancy agreement; Driving license.   The choice of document is yours, but it must show, in printed format, your name and your address.
Section 8 -	Notes on the reverse of the form explain the two different versions of the Register.  If you would like to opt out of the Edited Register, you should tick this box.
Section 9 -	If you tick this box, then a Postal Vote Application Form will be sent out to you for completion.
Sections 10 & 11 -	Please let us know your previous address and previous Council (if you know it) so that we can ensure you are registered to vote at one address only.
Section 12 -	You must sign your registration form, or it cannot be accepted.

 

 

The Register of Electors gets updated on a monthly basis.  The table below shows the deadline dates by which we need to receive your completed registration form, and the corresponding date on which you will be added to the Register of Electors.

If you return your completed application form by the relevant closing date, your application will be added to the list of people making applications.  This list is open to public inspection, so other people are allowed to object.  Subject to there being no objection, your name will be added to the Register of Electors on the relevant date shown.  Should there be an objection, then a hearing will take place.

 

If your application is not received until after the monthly closing date, then it will be held over until the next monthly closing date.

 

You should note however, that in the run up to an election, a person will only be able to vote at that election if their name has been added to the Register of Electors prior to 11 working days before polling.
