Register to Vote

How to register 

You can register to vote online using the link below. You can also give us a ring on 0115 876 4111 if you would like help registering.

Benefits of registering

- Being on the register is good for your credit rating.

- You can vote in elections and referendums you are eligible for, including Local, Parliamentary and European elections.

- The electoral register is used to call people for jury service. Studies show that fewer young people and people from ethnic minorities register to vote. The result is that they are under-represented in the legal system.

Please note that being registered for Council Tax does not automatically put you on the register.

Eligibility to register

To be eligible for inclusion on the Register of Electors you must be:

• Over 18, or reach the age of 18 during the period in which the register is in force. (Eligible from aged 16 but will not appear on the Electoral Register until aged 18)
