Northern Ireland elections 2027

You need to be registered by this deadline to be able to vote on election day. Registering takes five minutes and is quick and easy.

You may want to apply for a postal vote if you think you won’t be able to vote in person. You don’t need a reason to apply to vote by post in England.

You can apply for a free Voter Authority Certificate to use as ID if your election requires ID to vote.

If you know that you won’t be able to get to the polling station on polling day, you can ask someone you trust to cast your vote on your behalf - this is called a proxy vote.

Time to use your vote! Find out where your local polling station is and make plan to vote.
