Register to vote

To take part in any election, it's vital that your details are on the electoral register. We annually send out a form to all South Cambridgeshire homes listing the details of the people we have registered at each property. Returning this form is the best way to make sure you can have your say on polling day. Find out here which district ward, county division or parliamentary constituency you are in.

Postal and proxy voting

You can also apply for a postal or proxy vote. Application to vote by post requires you to provide a specimen signature and your date of birth in advance of the next election. You will have to provide this information again on a security statement when returning your ballot paper. You can apply for someone to cast your vote on your behalf, providing you have completed the appropriate application form and that person meets certain criteria.

Thinking of becoming a councillor?

Do you ever wish you could influence the way things are done in your area? Councillors provide a vital link between the council and the local community and play an important role in ensuring the Council fulfils its duties and takes inclusive decisions having regard to the needs of local people. The role of a councillor can be varied.
