EU referendum on 23 June: you can’t miss it – get prepared

The 2016 EU Referendum - you cant miss it

 

 

 

 

 

 

EU referendum – you can’t miss it

“In” or “Out”? It’s one of the most important questions you’ll ever be asked. We’re referring, of course, to the upcoming EU referendum. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to have your say on whether the UK remains in or leaves the European Union.

Make sure you’re registered

Registering to vote is easy. You can register online in just a few minutes using a simple form. You’ll need to provide your National Insurance number, your date of birth and your address.

If you’re not already registered, you need to register to vote by 7 June, or you’ll miss out. Head to gov.uk/register-to-vote to register.

How will you vote? In person, by post or by proxy

Once you’re registered, you’ll receive a poll card at the address where you’re registered, which will tell you where to vote. Don’t worry if you lose it, you don’t need it to vote and you can contact your local council to find out where your polling station is.

But maybe it isn’t that simple. What if you’re attending Glastonbury, which kicks off 22 June? Or maybe you’re simply planning to be on a beach in warmer climes, taking a well-earned holiday?.

Don’t worry. If you’re travelling, or unable to get to your polling station on 23 June, there are other options. So long as you’re registered, or have made an application to register, you can apply for a postal vote or a proxy vote (where someone you trust votes on your behalf). Both you and your proxy must be registered to vote.

If you need a postal or proxy vote, go to aboutmyvote.co.uk to download a form. The application deadline is 8 June for postal votes, and 15 June for proxy votes.

Whatever the outcome, the EU referendum on 23 June will be a historic day in British culture. You can’t miss it. Have your say. Be part of the vote.

Make sure you are registered by 7th June
