MILLIONS of Brits have registered to vote ahead of the deadline tomorrow.
Brits must send off their application online by 11.59pm tomorrow, Tuesday 26 November.
More than 300,000 people registered on Friday alone – the most people in a single day since the election was called last month.
Anyone who hasn’t registered won’t be able to cast their ballot on December 12.
You can register to vote online on thegovernment’s website.
It takes around five minutes to complete the form. If you live in Northern Ireland, a different one is needed.
If you’ve moved address since the last time you voted, you’ll need to re-register.
When you re-register to your new address, your new local authority will ensure you are removed from the electoral register at your previous address.
It is possible to be registered to vote at two different addresses, for example students, however it is an offence to vote twice in the same election.
If you already have a polling card come through the door then you’re already all set up and ready to vote.
If you live outside the UK but hold a British passportthen you can still votein theGeneral Election.
But this means it isimpossible to be able to vote in person.
However, you can vote by post or by proxy (someone to vote on your behalf).
If you want to apply to vote by post, the application has to be in by 5pm tomorrow.
Voting by proxy means getting someone to vote on your behalf.
However, you must have a valid reason as to why someone needs to vote for you.
Reasons includebeing away, having a disability or serving overseas as a member of the armed forces.
You can ask anyone to act as your proxy – as long as theyre registered to vote and theyre allowed to vote in the same type of election.
You can be a proxy for two people at the same election, or more if the extra people are close relatives.
Completed forms have to be sent to your localElectoral Registration Office.
