Register to Vote: Deadline Approaching!
Tuesday 19-11-2019 - 15:50
Anyone wanting to vote in the UK Parliamentary General Election on Thursday 12 December 2019 must register by Tuesday 26 November. Registration is quick and can be done online at:
➡️ www.gov.uk/registertovote
You will need your National Insurance Number and your address to complete the application. If you don’t have your NI number to hand then there is an option within the form to progress the registration without.
If you are a student living and studying away from home you can register at both your term-time and home address and then choose which constituency you wish to vote in on election day.
It is an offence for someone to cast more than one vote on their own behalf in a UK Parliamentary General Election. If you are registered in two separate constituencies you have to choose which to cast your vote in, you can only vote once.
The Guardian have published a helpful tool for students which may help you to choose whether you wish to vote in your home or term-time constituency.
