South Derbyshire District Council - Electoral registration

If you do not register then you cannot exercise your democratic right to vote in any election. It is also much harder to obtain credit.

You can check whether you are registered by:

coming in to the Civic Offices, Swadlincote
contacting the Electoral Registration Office on 01283 595723 who will check the register for you.

The edited register leaves out the names and addresses of people who have asked for them to be excluded from that version of the register. The edited register can be bought by anyone who asks for a copy, and they may use it for any purpose.

If you are not on the published register, all you need to do is complete the voter registration form. Each person wishing to be registered must sign the form personally - no one else can do it for you.

Any elector can object to your name being added to the register. If this happens we will write to you.

We will also tell the Electoral Registration Officer for your old address that you have moved, so that your name can be removed from that register. People who share their time equally between two addresses (including students) are allowed to register at both. If you do not want to be removed from your other address please explain why on your form.

There are special rules about names being added to the voters list during an election period. If you are added at that time, you may not be able to vote at that election.
