Getting on the electoral register

If you want to use your right to vote at elections, you first need to have your name on the Electoral Register. It is also much harder to obtain credit if your name is not on the register.

The new register of electors was published 1 December 2009. To check if you are registered, contact the Electoral Services Team (contact details at the bottom of this page).

How to get your name on the Electoral Register

  1. Download the registration form and print it out;
  2. Complete the form, providing your name (one person per form) and address;
  3. Say whether you would like to be on the full or edited register – see our frequently asked questions page for the differences between the two versions of the register;
  4. Sign the form and return it to the Electoral Services Team, Council Offices, Holt Road, Cromer (The return address is also on the form.)

Alternatively you can visit our Cromer Office to add your name to the register.

Rolling registration allows the Elections Office to add new residents to the electoral register at the beginning of each month as long as they are qualified and complete a electoral registration form. Deletions and amendments are also made each month, during the months of January to September.
