In England, Scotland or Wales, you can register to vote online anytime at gov.uk/register-to-vote.

Anyone who was already registered to vote (or recently registered) before the April 18 deadline for the elections taking place across the UK on May 5 will also be registered to vote at the EU Referendum and will be able to cast their vote. You do not need to re-register.

If your circumstances changed, for example you moved home between your last registration and the EU Referendum registration deadline tomorrow, June 7, then you will need to re-register at your new property.
