Once you officially become a candidate, you are entitled to receive a free copy of the full electoral registers. You are also entitled to the lists of people voting by post or proxy (‘the lists of absent voters’), for the whole parliamentary constituency that you are contesting.

The electoral register lists the names and addresses of everyone who is registered to vote in public elections. The register is used for electoral purposes, such as making sure only eligible people can vote. It is also used for other limited purposes specified in law, such as detecting crime (e.g. fraud), calling people for jury service, checking credit applications.

Registers for parliamentary constituencies may be spread across multiple local authority boundaries, as detailed below. You will need to make a request to each relevant electoral service. Please note that some email addresses may be listed more than once.

Apply

The request must be made in writing and the forms can be accessed below:

1. Register Request Form
2. Absent Voters List Request Form

You will then need to send your completed form(s) to the relevant electoral service, via email.

The register and lists will will be supplied in electronic format, unless a paper copy is specifically requested.

The version of the electoral register and lists supplied will be the ones current at the time of application. You may also request the updates to the electoral registers and lists that are published in the lead-up to the poll, including the list of newly registered electors when it is published five working days before the poll.

Any person found breaching the restrictions on use of the electoral register could face an unlimited fine.  For more information see the Electoral Commission's guidance on restrictions on the use of the electoral register in England and Wales.
