Recently moved house?

If you have recently moved house and registered for Council Tax your details will not be entered onto the electoral register automatically. You have to make a separate application to register to vote for your details to appear on the electoral register. 

Registering to vote online (opens new window) is the quickest and easiest way.

New Residents

Any person who should be registered to vote whose name does not appear on the form will need to make a separate application to register to vote to appear on the electoral register.

Registering to vote online (opens new window) is the quickest and easiest way.

If you cannot get online please complete the canvass form and we will send a paper application to register to vote when we receive a response back from you.
