Home11 December 06 - Electoral information for British citizens living overseas
The Electoral Commission gives the following advice to Brits living overseas:
"If you are a British citizen living abroad, you can apply to be an overseas voter. As long as you were registered to vote in the UK within the last 15 years, you can register to vote from overseas.
If you were too young to register when you left the UK, your parent or guardian must have been registered.
As an overseas voter, you are eligible to
vote in elections for the UK Parliament
and the European Parliament. You cannot
vote in UK local or mayoral elections,
or elections to the Scottish Parliament,
the National Assembly for Wales or the London Assembly.
If you live in a country which is a member
of the European Union, you can vote in
that country’s own local and European
parliamentary elections.
But, you cannot vote
in European elections
in more than
one country."
In order to register you will need to fill in an electoral registration form for a British citizen living overseas at www.aboutmyvote.co.uk.
