Register to vote
Easy Read by Innovate Trust
Before you can vote you must join the Electoral Register.
It only takes a few minutes.
The register is a list of everyone who is allowed to vote.
If you do not register, you cannot vote.
Contact your council online, by telephone or at a library to join the register.
They use the register to count how many people did and did not vote.
They use it to see if some groups of people need extra help to learn about voting and how important it is.
The electoral register also helps to stop people trying to steal other people’s votes.
Once you are on the register you do not need to do it again unless you move house or change your name.
