Registration Concierge
Let's get you registered
It takes about five minutes. Around ~191,000 of the ~3.4 million eligible were registered at the 2024 general election — most people who are missing simply never found the starting point.
Before you start — what this is
Registration itself happens on gov.uk. BOVF cannot register you, does not submit anything on your behalf, and never sees your application. What we do is work out which council handles you, explain the choices in plain terms, and remind you before your registration lapses. The official service is free and always will be: gov.uk/register-to-vote.
Find who handles your registration
Overseas registration is handled by the council covering the last UK address you lived at or were registered at — not by an embassy, and not by where your family lives now.
Register, and choose how you will vote
Complete step 1 first.
Confirm, and diarise your renewal
Overseas registration lapses after 3 years and must be renewed. Most people only discover a lapse when they try to vote, by which point it is too late for that election.
