Moving and registering to vote

Post by Kirkdalian »

I'm registered to vote at my address in Sydenham, but it looks like we're going to be moving around the end of April to a new constituency. Is that leaving it too late to register to vote at my new address or should I stay registered in Sydenham and apply for a postal vote? Does anyone know? Thanks.

The cut off date is 20th April, if you know your moving date and new address before then, you can change your registration.

Ah, thanks for that link Rachael. I had it in my head that you need some actual proof of address like a a tenancy agreement to register to vote (we're moving into a rental and can't see that starting before 30th April) but now I'm thinking you don't.

Tim, I know :( We love Sydenham, but we need more space, and a garden, I feel really boxed in in our flat! Hopefully will make it down to the next AMG day before we move.
