Frequently Asked Questions - Registration

Registration information for Students

To check if you are registered to vote phone our helpline on 028 9044 6680 or email your name, address and date of birth to info@eoni.org.uk.

There are two ways to register to vote or update your registration details:

You can register online via www.gov.uk/register-to-vote . This is the quickest and easiest way to register or update your details.

If you are unable to register online, you will need to complete a paper registration form and return it to the Electoral Office (see the Contact Us page). The form can be downloaded below or contact us and we will post one out to you.

Please note that if you apply to register at a new address you will automatically be removed from the register at your previous address.

If you require this form in a different format or language please contact us. This form can also be used to apply for an Electoral Identity Card. Visit the Electoral Identity Card page for details of how to apply.

When we receive your registration application we will check your details against data from the Department of Work and Pensions and the Business Services Organisation. If your details match your application will be approved. If any details (e.g. your address) do not match you will need to provide evidence documents. A list of acceptable documents is available to download below. We can accept scanned copies or photos of evidence documents - please email them to evidence@eoni.org.uk.

Removing a person from the register

We are unable to remove an elector from the register unless they are no longer living at an address or have passed away. To remove yourself, a former occupant or a recently deceased person from an address you will need to complete and return a removal form. You can download the form below.
