General Election - Register to vote by November 26

Registering to vote for the Parliamentary Election, on Thursday, December 12, is easiest online via www.gov.uk/register-to-vote  Alternatively, a paper form can be requested by contacting the Elections Team via 01493 846327 or elections@great-yarmouth.gov.uk

If you have recently moved to a new address within the borough, please contact the Elections Team to check whether you are registered. If you added or amended details on the recent Household Enquiry Form, sent to every household, it is likely that more information is required from you. Please therefore check as soon as possible and in any case before November 26.

If an elector is unable to vote in person at the polling station on the day, they can apply for a postal or proxy vote. The deadline for receiving new postal vote and postal proxy applications, and for changes to existing postal or proxy votes, is 5pm on Tuesday, November 26.

The deadline for receiving new applications to vote by proxy (not postal proxy or emergency proxies) is 5pm on Wednesday, December 4.

The council will accept nomination papers for candidates from Tuesday, November 12 until 4pm on Thursday, November 14. The list of candidates nominated in the Great Yarmouth Constituency will be published soon after, including on the council's website at www.great-yarmouth.gov.uk/electionsandvoting
