What is a register of electors?
The register of electors is compiled every autumn and published on 1 December. It lists everybody who has registered to vote. From December onwards, names can be added to the register. There is a cut off date after which no one can be added to the Register to enable them to vote at a specific election. The dates at which names can be added to the Register are listed below. Applications have to be received by the Qualifying date and are added on the published date. The elector becomes eligible to vote on the first day of the following month.
