Updates to the Electoral Register

If your application to register to vote has been successful, your name will appear on the next applicable update to the electoral register, as per the table. These dates are set in law, so we are unable to fast track applications.

Additional deadlines apply before elections take place. Applications to register to vote must reach us by midnight, 12 working days before an election. If you have been asked to provide evidence of identity, we must receive a copy of this by midnight, 6 working days before an election.

Credit reference agencies

Registered credit reference agencies are entitled to purchase the electoral register and monthly updates. See credit referencing and the electoral register for further information.
