Why should I register?

 
  • It is compulsory to fill in the annual voting registration form, if you don't, you could go to court, be fined up to £1,000, and get a criminal record.

  • Only those registered as electors can vote.  If you aren’t registered you can’t help decide who represents you or your local area, or who forms the next government.

  • The register is supplied to credit reference agencies, so non-registration may affect your ability to open a bank account, take out a mortgage, or buy things on credit.

  • Juries are summoned using the electoral register.
