Who can register

You can register to vote if you are:

  • 16 or older (although you can't vote until you're 18)
  • a British citizen; or
  • an Irish, qualifying Commonwealth, or European Union citizen living in the UK

If you are student living away from home, you can register at both your home and university term time address. Registering to vote at your term time address means you can choose where you vote.

You can still register to vote if you have no fixed address. You will need a declaration of local connection to show that you are connected to and spend time at a particular place.
