Registering to vote
You can only vote in elections if your name is on the Voters'
List (Register of Electors). We update the register every autumn.
But we can also add names throughout the year. Moved home? Coming
up to 18? Just not on the register?
Please complete the rolling
registration form and return to Richmondshire District Council,
Electoral Team, Resource Services, Swale House, Frenchgate,
Richmond, North Yorkshire DL10 4JE Telephone: 01748 827096

There is no monthly update during
September, October or November during the annual canvass period
when all households have to register. A new Register is
published on 1 December.
The Electoral Registration
Officer makes and keeps two versions of the electoral register -
the full register and the edited register. See
Full and
Edited Versions Explained for further information.
In accordance with the
Representation of the People Acts, any application to be registered
as an elector is subject to public inspection to allow for
objection to the application to be made. At the end of this period
of public inspection (if no objection has been received) the
applicant may be added to the Voters' List on the 1st day of the
month. Applications must be determined by the Electoral
Registration Officer by 14 days before the end of the month
(exclusive of a 5 day period for receipt of objections) in order
for the applicant to be added to the Voters' List on the 1st day of
the next month. Those applications determined after 14 days before
the end of the month will be delayed for inclusion in the Voters'
List until the 1st day of the following month. Please note that in
the "run-up" to an Election you will only be able to vote at that
Election if your name has been added to the Voters' List before the
last day for delivery of Nomination Papers for the Election.
We will also tell the Electoral
Registration Officer for your old address that you have moved, so
that your name can be removed from that register. People who live
at two homes (including students) are allowed to register at both.
If you do not want to be removed from your other address, please
explain why on your form.
