Register to vote
Don't give away your voice!
In the 2016 referendum, over 12 million people were registered to vote, but didn't. Over 18 million people were entitled to vote, but weren't registered. Don't give away your vote!
You'll need your national insurance number, but you can register here.
Finding time to vote on polling day is not always easy. If you think you won't be able to make it to a polling station, consider registering for a POSTAL or PROXY vote.
