Act now to make sure you stay registered to vote

Are you registered to vote?

Every year, our Elections team writes to all households in the district to ensure that the names of voters registered at each address are correct. It’s really important that the information we hold is up to date and accurate.

If you haven’t already done so, please check that the names on your form are correct and update us with any changes if necessary.

Remember, if you add the names of any new people, they will also need to make a seperate application to register at: http://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote

Why it matters: Being registered to vote ensures you are able to vote in elections.

The next elections in our area are for our District Councillors scheduled to take place in May 2026. These will also coincide with elections for all parish and town councils across South Cambridgeshire. You also need to be registered to vote in order to take part in any by-elections, which can happen at any time.

Did you know?

You can only vote after you turn 18, but you can register to vote from the age of 16!

Being on the register can help you get approved for credit applications.

The Jury Service uses the register to select people to sit on juries.
