The electoral register and how to vote

Study note

To be able to vote in UK elections you must have your name on the electoral register. You can register to vote, and on election day you go to a polling station, or you can apply to vote by post. Voting is by secret ballot.

Memory tip: Register to vote first; then vote at a polling station or by post, by secret ballot.
