Exercise your right

The election laws in Britain have changed making it easier for anyone who was previously registered to register and vote in the May election.

Ex-pats had the right to a postal vote for up to 20 years after leaving the country. Although that has reduced to 15 years, your vote can now be made online.

In order to register, you need to go to www.gov.uk/register-to-vote and complete the form. It takes about three minutes to complete using your passport and National Insurance number.

The deadline is April 20th – don’t miss it or you will lose your say in who runs Britain for the next term of office.
