Who can register
You must be aged 16 or over (or 14 or over in Scotland and Wales).
You must also be one of the following:
a British citizen
an Irish or EU citizen living in the UK
a Commonwealth citizen who has permission to enter or stay in the UK, or who does not need permission
a citizen of another country living in Scotland or Wales who has permission to enter or stay in the UK, or who does not need permission
Check which elections you’re eligible to vote in.
You can vote when you’re 18 or over. If you live in Scotland or Wales, you can vote in some elections when you’re 16 or over - check which elections you’re eligible to vote in.
You normally only need to register once - not for every election. You’ll need to register again if you’ve changed your name, address or nationality.
