Voting

Register to Vote

Yorkshire puddings, pubs, and having a good debate over a decent cup of tea with an old friend are just a few things you may miss while you’re overseas. But living abroad doesn’t stop you having your say back home…

Every British citizen who has been registered to vote in the UK within the last 15 years is eligible to vote in UK Parliamentary (general) elections and European Parliamentary elections in the UK.

If you were too young to register when you left the UK, you can still register as an overseas voter so long as your parent or guardian was registered to vote in the UK.

Register to vote as an ‘Overseas voter’ to be eligible to vote in UK Parliamentary (general) elections and European Parliamentary elections in the UK.

Information regarding voting in UK elections can be obtained from www.aboutmyvote.co.uk
