Your electoral registration lasts for only one year. We will send the annual registration form to your house in the Autumn - this must be completed and returned to continue your registration. Electoral Registration is not linked to the Council Tax record as they are based on different criteria (most residents must pay council tax but only residents with certain nationalities may register to vote).
