The electoral register and the 'open register'
Get on the electoral register
The electoral register (sometimes called the 바카라 사이트˜electoral roll바카라 사이트™) lists the names and addresses of everyone who바카라 사이트™s registered to vote.
Use the register to vote service to get on the electoral register.
To update your details (for example change your name or address) you should either:
- use the register to vote service if you live in the UK
- contact the electoral registration office that confirmed you are registered as an overseas voter if you live abroad
To check whether you바카라 사이트™re already on the register:
- contact your electoral registration office if you live in England, Scotland or Wales
- use the if you live in Northern Ireland
This guide is also available in Welsh (Cymraeg).
The annual canvass
From July each year, electoral registration offices (EROs) contact households to check if the details on the electoral register are correct. They may also tell you to register to vote if you바카라 사이트™re not already registered. This is called the annual canvass.
You will be contacted by post, email, phone or by someone knocking on your door.
There is no annual canvass in Northern Ireland.
What happens if you do not register
You must register to vote if an electoral registration officer asks you to do so and you meet the conditions for registering.
If you바카라 사이트™re asked to register and do not, you could be fined up to £1,000.
You will not be fined if you have a valid reason for not registering, for example a long stay in hospital, or you have severe learning difficulties.
When you can register in more than one place
It바카라 사이트™s sometimes possible to register at 2 addresses (though you can only vote once in any election).
For example, if you바카라 사이트™re a student with different home and term-time addresses, you may be able to register at both.
Register to vote twice if you live at 2 addresses.
