Students

Students may be able to register at home and at their term-time address. So wherever you are on election day, you can have your say.

Registering is easy

All you need to do is follow the steps to fill in the registration form online, print it off and return it to the Electoral Registration Officer at your term-time local council.

If you’d rather print a blank form to fill in later, you can do that too.  Click this link to download a blank registration form.
