How to register to vote
You can apply to register to vote either:
- online at Register to vote; or
- by printing off and completing this form and then sending it to your electoral registration office
What you need to know about registering to vote
Registering to vote will let you have your say in local elections, general elections and referendums.
People with a learning disability have the same right to vote as everyone else.
You only need to register once - you do not need to register separately for every election.
You must register again if you’ve changed address, name or nationality.
When you register to vote, you’ll be asked for your National Insurance number (but you can still register if you do not have one). Find your National Insurance number.
If you are from Northern Ireland you’ll need to use a different form to register to vote.

Voting if you have a disability
If you have a disability, your electoral registration office can tell you about:
- physical access, for example wheelchair ramps and disabled parking spaces
- low-level polling booths
- any specific equipment you need
Every polling station must provide at least one large print display version of the ballot paper.
Support is also available for electors who require additional assistance to cast their vote in Northern Ireland.
