How do I register to vote?

The easiest way is online, but you’ll need you National insurance number (NI).

You can find your National Insurance number on your payslip, P45, P60, tax return, and it may be on any documentation regarding housing benefits and job centre plus documentation too.

Once you’ve got your National Insurance number click on to this site and it should take less than 5 minutes:
