UK General Election 2024 - Register today!

We probably don’t need to tell you that the UK General Election date was announced yesterday and will take place on 4 July 2024. So you can finally make your voices heard.

Some of you will already be registered. If you live abroad and are still thinking about registering, bear in mind the deadlines.

You have until 18 June to apply to register and 19 June 5pm to make a new application for a postal proxy (where your proxy votes by post) or postal vote.

You have until 26 June 5pm to make a new application for a proxy vote (where your proxy votes in person).

Your proxy does not have to be registered to vote in the same constituency as you as they can vote by post.

British in Europe strongly recommends going for a proxy if possible, given problems with the post.
