Many of those won't have a valid photo ID either.

If you don't have one of the 'acceptable' photo IDs, you can apply for a free Voter Authority Certificate (VAC). The deadline to apply is 5pm on Wednesday 26 June.

And those people are likely the ones most likely to benefit from voting for the non-corporate parties. They should be the ones trying to reach those people.

I have registered. I have voted in local elections (except the last one as I was ill and could not go). The election office is just a 5 minute walk from my house so I prefer to go and vote in person, as I love walking and it is good exercise. May go for a nice dinner somewhere close after voting.

Also make sure you have ID.

If you're not sure yours is valid or you know it isn't, you can check/apply here. 👇

"You need to apply by 5pm on 26 June 2024 to get a Voter Authority Certificate" if you don't have other ID.

The Election will be on 4 July 2024.

I wish I could but I can't! I fell at the UK resident hurdle. I was also excluded from the Brexit vote too because as a Briton living in France, I had nothing to lose from the outcome.

A bit worrying, but there’s still time.

I was just reading that - if you live in the U.K. and are eligible to vote - you are legally obliged to be on the electoral register. It may well suit the Tories to have significant numbers of disenfranchised citizens unable to vote against them, but why has this ‘unlawfulness’ not been followed up?
