In May, residents will go to the polls to vote for Members of the European Parliament as well as for their local councillors.

Registration forms were sent in October to over 58,000 borough households who are eligible to vote but 8,500 are yet to respond. By law the council must visit each household that has failed to return its form, which increases the council’s costs. Canvassers have begun their visits to homes that are yet to register.

Young voters

Your form should include everyone in your household who will be eligible to vote, including those aged 16 and 17.

If your details haven't changed you can confirm this online or by telephone using our free phone number 0800 197 9870 (you will need the security code on the registration form). Alternatively, make any changes you need to the form and return it by post.

Cut down junk mail

You can opt to have your details excluded from the edited register. This will mean your details cannot be bought by individuals and commercial organisations. You can also do this as part of your online or telephone confirmation or on your electoral registration form.

A revised register will be published on 17 February 2014.
