You need to be on the Electoral Register to vote in all UK elections and referendums, including District, County, General and European elections. You are not automatically registered even if you pay council tax. Being on the Electoral Register can also help confirm your residential status for credit checks.
You can register to vote by downloading the electoral registration form from the related documents section on the right of this page. For electors who qualify as overseas electors, HM Service voters and Crown Servants please use the appropriate forms which can be downloaded from the about my vote website.
Application forms need to be completed and then sent back to:
Electoral Registration Officer
Vale of White Horse District Council
Abbey House
Abingdon
OX14 3JE
For further information call the Elections Team on 01235 540310.
Every autumn we also carry out an annual canvass to update the electoral register. As part of the canvass every house in the Vale will be sent an annual canvass form which lists all people currently on the register at that address. People are asked to update this list by adding anyone in the household who should be on the register and crossing out anyone who no longer lives at that address. Any changes or additions to the Electoral Register will be published on 1 December.
