Register to vote

It only takes 5 minutes to register to vote, less time than it takes to run a bath. You need to register before you can vote in an election.

Register to vote in advance as a younger person

You can go on the electoral roll as an ‘attainer’ at the age of 16. By registering in advance, you'll already be on the electoral roll when you turn 18 and will be eligible to vote.
