Can I Register to Vote If I’m Moving House Soon?

AI Summary

Yes — if you’re moving soon, you can still register to vote, but Oldham’s guidance also notes that Service Voters should register if they’re based overseas or may be posted overseas in the next year, because that lets them stay registered at a fixed UK address even if they move around.

Situation What Oldham says Action
Moving house soon You can register to vote online Register to vote
Based overseas or likely to be posted overseas in the next year Register as a Service Voter so you can stay registered at a fixed UK address even if you move around Register to vote as a member of the armed services

To register, you’ll need your National Insurance number and date of birth. If your move is soon, it’s worth registering from the address where you’re currently entitled to be on the electoral register.
