Register to Vote!

[Waapster]

This referendum could have a profound impact on our country and our futures. If you are not registered to vote there is still time - you can do it easily here http://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote its really easy. You have until tomorrow.

You then have until Wednesday to register for a postal vote.

Can never have too many reminders for this. This will be a close one. Cast my vote already.

[Heather90]

I moved house on wednesday so going to ring the office tonight and make sure I've applied correctly. Trusted friend who is voting same way as me is on standby as a proxy. 

I'm quite glad I can vote with my head and not an emotional last minute swap on the day

Coming round quite quickly this, kept somehow forgetting and only sent off for me postal on Wednesday... Never done postal before, quite concerned cos really, between council and Royal Mail anything can go wrong.

You can always hand deliver it. The address is included in the postal vote pack.

Don't let Glastonbury stop you from exercising your very important right to vote.

Our postal votes have arrived. Must fill out tonight and get back in the post.

Aye, am considering that.. I'm off on Wednesday anyway, if I've not got owt by then I'll bike down.

[lucyginger]

Putting ours in the post today!

Voted last week. Glad I got my vote in early! Will be interesting finding out the results while at Glastonbury. Will knock back an additional drink should the outcome fall on the side I voted.

[Waapster]

I also voted last week.

SO IF YOU HAVEN'T REGISTERED YOU MUST DO IT NOW!!!

[Dr Glasto]

Please vote! It's a hard-won freedom that we shouldn't take for granted and the decision of this referendum will affect us all for years to come. 

Cheers

I've already filled mine in and will be in the post this week. Can't agree more that, whichever side you fall on, you should exercise the right to vote.

[cazzatron]

This thread - yessss.

Voted last week!

[Waapster]

There's still time! Registration closes at midnight tonight. 

[Divein]

Does anyone know when the deadline is to actually post back the application. 

I can drop it off on Thursday but will struggle to post it between now and then.

What's the deadline to nominate someone to vote on your behalf?

I believe as long as it's received before the polls close your vote is counted. I think you can actually drop it off at your polling station obviously no good in this instance.

Ignore that misread the question.

I thought the application had to be received before Wednesday. The actual voting slip is before polls close

That's voting by proxy - https://www.gov.uk/voting-in-the-uk/voting-by-proxy

I just do postal for every election, very straight forward.

Thanks, I'm still hoping for a last minute Glastonbury win so waiting until the last second to sort out the voting. Luckily I've got someone I can trust who can vote on my behalf

Key dates:

• Register to vote by midnight tonight - easy online task, just takes a few minutes
• Register for a postal vote by 5pm tomorrow (8 June) you can still do this by turning up in person at your council's electoral services office - easy to find on Google
• Register for a proxy vote by 15 June
• Make sure your postal vote arrives (or put it in a ballot box) by 10pm on polling day - 23rd June

50 minutes to go. I you aren't registered, do it now!

[Little Andy]

With the extension of registering to vote moving to Thursday, is there any sign of an extension for applying for a postal vote? To my understanding, the deadline was 5pm today.

Unlikely, seems to be causing all kinds of headache so far (legally speaking).

Ok, cheers. My scanner wouldn't work at work so couldn't email it in in time. My fault tho for only deciding at the last minute.
