Register to vote
You can register as soon as you have a National Insurance number at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.
You’ll usually get a letter confirming your National Insurance number shortly before your 16th birthday. This will be sent to the address HMRC has for you.
Looking ahead, when the law changes to lower the voting age to 16, we expect that 14+ year-olds will be able to register early.
A step-by-step guide on how to use the Government's website is available here (pdf, 465kb).
Let’s make sure every young voice counts!
