A UK general election will be held on 6 May along with local

elections in some parts of England.

If you’re not registered to vote, you must register by 20 April

to be able to vote on 6 May.

If you’re a student living away from home, you may register

twice – Many students don’t know that they might be eligible to

register to vote at both their home and university addresses, so

they’d be able to vote wherever they are at the time of the

election.
