Register Of Electors
From 4 August 2008 voter registration forms will be delivered to every home in South Tyneside.
The details you give us on the registration form will be used to update the information we have about who is registered to vote at your address.
The up-to-date register of electors will be published on 1 December 2008.
What do I need to do?
- When you receive your form it will show the details of the people currently on the register of electors for your address
- You should check that the details are correct, cross out the names of anyone who no longer lives at your address and add the names of any new residents (including any 16-or 17-year-olds)
- If you are moving house before 15 October leave the form for the new occupiers to fill in
- If you do not have a voter registration form for your new address contact us and we will send you one out
- By law you must register to vote. You can sign and return your registration form or, if there are no changes to make, you can register over the phone or online. If you don’t register, or you give false information on the form, you could be fined up to £1000
How to register
When you receive your voter registration form you must check the details that are printed on the form.
If there are no changes you can register over the phone, online or by post.
By post
(remember to sign part 5 of the form)
If you need to change any of the details, you should cross out the old details, add the new details in part 1 and include any 16-or 17-year-olds on part 2.
Sign the form in part 5 and return it in the envelope provided.
