Voting While Living Overseas

There is a provision to enable people who were eligible voters in the UK, but are now permanently resident overseas, to continue to register for voting.

You can register as an Overseas Elector which will enable you to vote at Parliamentary and European Parliamentary elections, but not Local elections.

The qualifying period for registration is up to 15 years from the last time the voter's name was entered on a Register of Electors as an ordinary UK voter.  Overseas Electors must register in the area and at the address that they were last registered as an ordinary UK voter.  Once registered, the registration is valid for one year. The Electoral Registration Officer will contact the voter when their registration is due for renewal.

Registration forms are available from Electoral Services or can be downloaded from the Electoral Commission website.
