Last day to register to vote in England ahead of May 7 local elections
The deadline to register to vote in England for the May 7 local elections and devolved polls is midnight on April 20. Voters can sign up online at www.gov.UK/register-to-vote or via their local electoral registration office; the online form takes about five minutes. Anyone already registered should check their name and address are correct, because missing the April 20 cutoff means you cannot vote on May 7. The May 7 ballots will be an early test for national parties, including Reform UK after Nigel Farage’s approval rating fell to its lowest ever.
