Electoral Services

Register to vote
To take part in any election, it's vital that your details are on the electoral register. We update the register every autumn in our annual canvass, however, you can add your name to the register of electors at any time throughout the year.

Forthcoming and recent elections
A by-election has been called in the Parish of Waterbeach. Find out more about this election here.
You can also find more information on the polls held in 2011, including the local total for the referendum on the parliamentary voting system.

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?
Councillors (also called Members) are elected by local people to plan, run, monitor and develop council business. Councillors work to improve the quality of life for people within the South Cambridgeshire area and make decisions about local issues. Councillors are essential in deciding what is in the public interest amidst a range of conflicting issues and views. The role of Councillor can be very varied.
