YOUR VOICE MATTERS AND YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT – REGISTER OF ELECTORS

It is now your responsibility to ensure that you’re registered to vote.

The Register of Electors for the Referendum taking place on 8th March 2024 has been closed.

You can check if you are registered to vote through the online Check the Register service.

If you are not registered, you can still apply to be included in the appendix to the Register.

Please submit your application on or before the closing date: Tuesday 20th February 2024

  • You must be full time living at the address at which you wish to be registered;
