Have you registered yet? Deadline is on April 20th!

Whether or you not you have decided to vote, not to vote or can't make up your mind it is ALWAYS a good idea to be registered as it gives you the freedom to change your mind. Today is National Voter Registration Day so there is no better time than now!

Check out the video we have made on how to register to vote in under two minutes!

Here are some examples of when you can register:

- whilst the kettle is boiling
- as your baked beans cook for lunch
- waiting for a bus/train
- in a queue at the supermarket
- waiting for a lecture to start
- while you are on the loo

It doesn't matter - JUST DO IT!

I've already registered. I was sent a letter with simple instructions for how to do so. Frankly the video is unnecessary for anyone who's also going to be capable of thinking intelligently about what sort of policies they want in the next government.

I think I'm already registered, but it can't have hurt to do it again. I also wanted to be sure I wasn't on the edited register, as I've no reason to be.

I was sent a letter a few months ago telling me to register or be prosecuted. I did the stuff online and another letter came through the door a few weeks later thanking me for registering so I'm pretty confident I'll be voting. Still no idea who for, though. Probably won't decide until I'm actually at the polling booth.

Pretty sure I am registered to vote but I registered again just in case.

^ In response to everyone who's not sure who to vote for - read a few manifesto's! Make an informed decision this May, and vote for the party that you're sure YOU want. :smile:

(Can't stand when people vote for a party because their parents are voting for them etc.)

I'm 17 and have still registered since I got the letter with the £80 fine blackmail

introducing the fine was pretty rubbish though they didn't give a deadline or anything so I wonder if it was a bluff...

I did the registration well over 3 weeks ago and have heard nothing else since... :grumble:

Do you have to register before each election? Also I registered in November but had a letter corm though to tell me that I has asked to do a postal ballot when I hadn't :erm:

does that mean as I didn't hand it in I'm not registered?

Not usually but the registration system changed recently so I believe everyone had to register again.

Here's some info on the postal vote thing- looks like you can just hand it in at the polling station :smile:

If you’re too late to post your ballot paper back, you can hand it in to your local Electoral Registration Office or bring it to your local polling station by 10pm on polling day.

I received a letter saying that something had changed behind the scenes but there was no need for me to re-register.. so guessing it's not everyone. No idea what changed though :biggrin:

Oh, maybe it was because I have changed address since I last registered? I thought that was why they introduced the fine as they had so many people to encourage to re-register!
