Why you should register
- You must be on the electoral register to vote in all elections and referenda held in the United Kingdom, including local and parliamentary elections.
- By law, you must register to vote or you could fined up to £80.
- If you are not on the register you may find it harder to get a loan, mortgage, finance agreement, or even a mobile phone contract as the electoral register is used by credit reference agencies as part of their checks.
