Voting rights from abroad
Voting rights for Brits Abroad
All British citizens living abroad who have ever lived in the UK or who were registered to vote there can now register to vote in the UK general elections or referendums.
You will be eligible to vote in the constituency where you last lived before leaving the UK, whenever that was.
If you are unsure about your current registration, contact the Electoral Registration Office for the area where you have a right to vote.
If you have registered since the new system came into force in January 2024, your renewal will not now be due for 3 years.
How to vote (and avoid postal delays)
To avoid postal delays from abroad - we have recommended overseas voters a proxy in the UK to vote on their behalf.
Your proxy can live anywhere in the UK as they are allowed to vote for you by post.
