Electoral Services
Electoral Services ensure that all eligible residents within the Royal Borough are given the opportunity to vote in any elections: local, parliamentary, GLA, European or referenda. We do this by compiling a Register of Electors. There is an annual canvass to update the Register each autumn, which is then published in full on 1 December each year. The process of "rolling registration" takes place between December and September. This allows people to register to vote throughout the year. If you have moved within the Borough or are new to the Borough you will need register to vote at your new address.
Electoral Services also organise and administer all elections that take place within the borough as well as assisting with any local or parliamentary boundary changes. The next planned election is the European Parliamentary Election in June 2009, however there could be a parliamentary or local by-election at any time.
European Parliamentary Election
The results for the European parliamentary election have now been announced - for full details please visit our European parliamentary election pages.
Registering to Vote
You may register to vote at anytime. The revised register was published on 1 December 2008 following the annual canvass which took place between August and November. If you have recently moved house, changed your name or are not registered then please visit our register to vote page for further information.
Other Languages
The Electoral Commission produces information leaflets and application forms in various languages. For further information and to download leaflets in other languages please see the other languages section of the "aboutmyvote" website from the Electoral Commission.
