If you are a student and you split your time between two addresses, for example if you have a home address and a term-time address, you can register to vote at both addresses.
At local elections, you can vote in both places if they are in different council areas. At general elections, such as a UK parliamentary election or referendum, you can only vote in one place but you can choose which place you vote in. Voting in more than one place at general elections is a criminal offence.
As a student you are eligible to apply for a postal or proxy vote for the duration of your course. Visit the Voting by post or proxy page to obtain an application form or contact us and we will send one out to you.
Check if you are registered and get your Digital Registration Number
If it turns out you're not on the electoral register, you can register online via www.gov.uk/register-to-vote. This is the quickest and easiest way to register or update your details.
If you cannot register online, you will need to complete a paper registration form and return it to us either by post or in person (see the Contact us page for our address). The form can be downloaded below or contact us and we will post one out to you.
If you are registering at both your home address and term-time address you must ensure you complete the 'Other Address' section of the application to indicate that you are registering at two addresses. We will contact you to confirm you are a student and are eligible to register at two different addresses.
When we receive your registration application we will check your details against data from the Department of Work and Pensions and the Business Services Organisation. If your details match your application will be approved. If any details (e.g. your address) do not match you will need to provide evidence documents. A list of acceptable documents is available to download below. We can accept scanned copies or photos of evidence documents - please email them to evidence@eoni.org.uk.
Remember - every time you move address you need to register to vote, even if you are staying in student accommodation.
