Register to vote to take part in elections in the UK. Includes how to get on the electoral register and how to update your address on the register.

I assume most people here already are registered but just in case: here’s the link.

    Question because I don’t remember. I am registered to vote via post because I’m currently living abroad. I re-registered a month or two ago because I knew this was coming. Now I’m registered already, what do I have to do? Does my ballot just come in the post automatically? Or do I need to trigger it somehow?

        I don’t know what being fine means though! I can just sit back and relax and check my postbox in a week? Or in 4-5 weeks? Or I need to print something off and send it myself? I couldn’t find anything actually describing the entire process on the gov website…

          I don’t know about internationally but internally postal votes usually go out about 2 weeks before the actual election that gives you time to realize yours hasn’t come and raise mary hell about it.

          I would have assumed international votes would come out a week earlier due to the nature of having to go through foreign Postal services. Although given the alternative is the RM, that might actually speed things up.
