Who is entitled to register to vote
To be eligible to have your name included on the
Electoral Register, you need to be:

- a citizen of a European Union member state.
List of UK residents from Commonwealth and European Union countries eligible to register to vote.
If you are a citizen of a European Union member state (other than Britain, Republic of Ireland, Malta or Cyprus) you are not entitled to vote at UK parliamentary elections. You can vote at local elections and can choose to vote at European elections either for your Bromley address (provided that you complete a separate form) or your member state area.
Every year, by law, we prepare a new and accurate register of electors. The only way we can get correct, up-to-date information is by sending out a registration form to every household in the borough.
The electoral register is updated monthly between January and September this is known as rolling registration.
Special registration arrangements
If you are a member of the armed forces (or partner), a Crown Servant, a British council employee, a patient in a mental hospital, a remand prisoner or a homeless person, there are special arrangements for your registration. Please contact us for further information.
