Register by 26 November to vote in the general election on 12 December

When you register online, you'll be asked for your National Insurance number, but you can still register if you don't have one.  You also need to be on the electoral register, and if you've changed your address, name or nationality since you first registered you'll need to re-register.

Students:  You can also register using the free online automated service provided by Jisc, which makes it easy for you to register, and collects the required voter registration information passing that to the relevant Electoral Registration Office on your behalf.

Students can register to vote at both their home and term-time addresses, but remember that it is illegal to vote more than once in a general election.

Citizens from Commonwealth countries and the Republic of Ireland, Malta and Cyprus are also eligible to vote.  As individuals who have the right to study and work in the UK, it's important for your views to be included in this election, you can check if you're eligible to vote on The Electoral Commission website.

To be able to vote in this general election you must be registered by Tuesday 26 November.  

If you want to apply to vote by post you must do this before 5pm on Tuesday 26 November.
