Elections and voting

Applications to register to vote for the forthcoming UK Parliamentary election must be made by 11:59pm on Tuesday 18 June. You can register online via the Register to vote page on the GOV.UK website (opens new window) .  You can also use this service to update your name and re-register if you have moved house. 

Alternatively, a paper form can be requested by contacting the Elections team:

• by telephone on 01493 846327
• by email to elections@great-yarmouth.gov.uk

Remember, each time you move house you need to register to vote at your new address. You also need to re-apply for any postal or proxy voting arrangements you may have had previously! 

To vote in a UK Parliamentary election you must:

• be registered to vote 
• be 18 or over on the day of the election ('polling day')
• be a British, Irish or qualifying Commonwealth (opens new window) citizen
• be resident at an address in the UK or living abroad and registered as an overseas voter
• not be legally excluded from voting
