Why should I register to vote?

• It is now a legal requirement to be registered to vote at your current address in the UK.

  If you are not registered to vote you could be fined up to £1000.

  In terms of your credit report, companies use electoral roll information to confirm your identity and residency.

  It is becoming more common for people to be refused credit because they are not registered to vote, especially if you are applying for a phone contract or store card.

  Registering to vote is quick, easy and most importantly, it’s free. Just got to aboutmyvote.co.uk for more information on registering to vote.
