Promote the Migrant Vote Campaign

[magmagda]

Hello, I thought I'd share this here, as a lot of migrant voters are still not aware that they might be allowed to vote in the upcoming general elections.

To vote in a UK general election a person must be registered to vote and also:

- 18 or over

- be a British citizen, a qualifying Commonwealth citizen or a citizen of the Republic of Ireland

- not be subject to any legal incapacity to vote

Before you can vote, you must first register to vote. The process is simple and usually only takes 5 minutes.I The easiest is to register online. Go to: https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote. The deadline is 26 November 2019.

You can also register directly with your local electoral registration office. To find your local electoral registration office, and contact them directly, go to: https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/register-to-vote/find-your-local-authority.
