REGISTERING TO VOTE

Voter Registration Form

Postal Vote Application Form

Proxy Vote Application Form

You can only vote in elections if your name is on the register of electors. We update the register every autumn, however, you can now add your name to the register of electors at any time throughout the year. If you do not register then you cannot exercise your democratic right to vote in any election.

You can check the Electoral Register at our Cambourne Office. Alternatively you can contact the Electoral Registration Office who can check certain information for you.

The edited register leaves out the names and addresses of people who have asked for them to be excluded from that version of the register. The edited register can be bought by anyone who asks for a copy, and they may use it for any purpose.

View our schedule of polling areas to see which district ward, county division or parliamentary constituency you live in.

Moved home? Coming up to 18? Just not on the Register?

All you have to do is print off and fill in the Voter Registration form. You have to sign your own form; someone else cannot do it for you.

When you send us your completed, signed form, we will add you to our list of new applications. Any elector can then object to your name being added to the register. If this happens we will write to you.

If your application is not objected to, we can normally change your details within 6 weeks of receiving your form, dependent upon when the application is received within the statutory timetable. We will write to tell you when your application is allowed. We will also tell the Electoral Registration Officer for your old address that you have moved, so that your name can be removed from that register.

People who live at two homes (including students) maybe allowed to register at both. If you do not want to be removed from your other address please explain why on your form.

There are special rules about names being added to the voters list during an election period. Because of these you may not be able to vote at that election if you are added during this time.
