No fixed address

You can still register to vote even if you do not have a fixed address. This may be because you are:

• a patient in a mental health hospital
• a homeless person
• a person remanded in custody
   

To register, you need to fill in a form called a 'Declaration of local connection'. You can get this form by contacting your electoral registration office. You can find their contact details by clicking on 'Search for local authority' in the box on the right hand side of this page.

On the Declaration of local connection form you need to give an address where you would be living if it were not for your current situation, or an address where you have lived in the past. If you are homeless, you can give details of where you spend a substantial part of your time.
