Keeping your vote when living abroad

Introduction

Many British citizens living abroad have the right to vote at parliamentary and European Parliamentary elections held in the UK. (This does not include local government elections). This leaflet explains who can vote and how to register as an overseas elector.

Who can vote?

If you do not live in the UK you can vote at parliamentary and European Parliamentary elections if you register as an overseas elector. However, you must be a British citizen. You must also satisfy either of the following two sets of conditions:

Set 1

• Your name was previously on the electoral register for an address in the UK.
• You were living in the U K on the qualifying* date for that register.
• There are no more than 20 Years between the qualifying dates for that register and the register you now want to be on.

Set 2

• You last lived in the U K less than 20 Years before the qualifying* date for the register you now want to be on.
• You were too young to be on the electoral register which was based on the last qualifying* date before you left.
• A parent or guardian was on that electoral register, for the address where you were living on that date.
• You are at least 18 years old, or will become 18 when the register you now want to be on is in force.

Only British citizens can register as overseas electors. Other Commonwealth citizens or citizens of the Republic of Ireland can register and vote at UK elections only when resident in the UK.

Andre Said:

ive recieved an official poll card (UK), does this mean i'm registered to vote?

We Answered:

Chad Said:

How do I check if i am Registered to vote?

We Answered:

Easy peasy.

You just pop along to your local reference library (that's the bigger ones, not the small local branch libraries) and ask to see the Electoral Roll for your street/postcode.

It's free of charge and you are entitled to examine your entry.

You may not make copies of it though, or do any other research because they may accuse you of commercial activities.

Isn't amazing how many people put in brain-dead "don't know" answers just to get the points. One can only hope that they also disqualify themeselves from voting.

Melissa Said:

Question on UK voting (Poll card)?

We Answered:

As you have said, the poll cards show your number on the register. Therefore you are on the register and can vote. There is very little point in sending an announcement of an election to someone who can't.

Nobody is automatically registered. You will be on the register because when the annual canvass form was posted to your household last autumn, as it is done every year, someone in your household will have completed it and sent it back to the local council including your name on it.
