Those not on the electoral register have just under two weeks to register to vote in time for the Mayor of London and London Assembly elections on Thursday 2 May. The latest you can register to vote in time for these elections is midnight on Tuesday 16 April.
It only takes five minutes and all you need is your National Insurance number. Remember, if you have recently moved address or changed your name, you will need to register to vote again.
If you have already registered, you will soon receive your polling letter (also known as a poll card) which will tell you how you have opted to vote, when to vote and if voting in person, which polling station to go to. You can only vote at the polling station location in your letter. You can also check your polling station online.
If voting in person, you must bring photo ID with you to the polling station. You do not need to bring your polling letter as well, but it does make it easier for the polling station staff to find you on the electoral register if you do.
If you have not yet received your polling letter, you may want to double check that you are registered to vote.
The deadline to apply for a postal vote in time for the May elections is also fast approaching. If you choose to vote by post, ballot papers will be sent directly to your address. Registering for a postal vote is quick and easy to do online.
The latest you can register to vote by post in time for these elections is 5pm on Wednesday 17 April.
