How to register to vote

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A VOTE

The voters list (Register of Electors) is the list of everyone who is entitled to vote.
If your address is not in Richmondshire District Council's area please return the form to your local authority.  To find out who is your local authority click here.   

To be able to vote in elections, your claim form must be received by the Electoral Team by the 11th day (so computed) before the date of the election.

Application Form

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.
