Staff and students are reminded that in order to vote in the General Election on Thursday 8th June 2017, you need to register by Monday 22nd May.
You can register to vote here: https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote (you will need your usual personal details plus your National Insurance number).
If you are not sure if you are registered to vote or not, you must contact your local electoral registration office. Contact details for your local office can be found here: https://www.yourvotematters.co.uk/register-to-vote/find-your-local-authority
Students can register to vote at both their home address and their term-time address. However, please remember that you may only vote once.
Registered voters will receive a poll card in the post in the run up to the election (normally a couple of weeks before the election date). This confirms that you are eligible to vote and where you need to go to place your vote. You do not need your poll card on the day, you can still vote even if you do not have a poll card, as long as you are on the electoral register.
