Register to Vote
You can register to vote if you are aged 16 or over, although you cannot vote until you are 18, and:

How do I register to vote?
- Once you've applied (using the button above), you'll get a confirmation letter from Electoral Services to say that you're registered.
- If your name, date of birth and national insurance number are not verified after you have applied to be registered, the Electoral Registration Office will contact you to clarify any element of their application or to ask you to provide documentary evidence, such as a passport, to support their application
