Student voter registration

Make sure you ARE REGISTERED to Vote!
Last term an Individual Registration form was delivered to you, inviting you to register to vote from your Canterbury address if you are eligible to do so.  If you have not responded, you will have received a reminder letter over the weekend of 4-5 March.

REMINDER – You must respond, even if you do not wish to register to vote in Canterbury.

Registering is quick and easy to do online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.

If you do not know your National Insurance number or do not have one, please select ‘I can’t provide a National Insurance number’ and enter ‘student’ for the reason. 

You may, if you wish, decide to only register at your home address.  If you do not want to register in respect of your Canterbury address, it will assist us (and prevent us contacting you further) if you would please send an email to the above address, or write to inform us that you do not wish to register in the Canterbury district giving your name and term time student address.

Voting is a great way to have your say. Your vote could make a difference!

The next planned election is the Kent County Council election which will take place on Thursday 4 May 2017.  Students living away from home are entitled to register to vote at both their home and university address.  Please note that in certain elections you can vote from both addresses, but at others you would need to choose which address to vote from.

Please do not hesitate to contact Electoral Services if you have any questions or need assistance with your registration.
