Once you’ve done that if you like graphs you might want to go here:

registertovote.service.gov.uk/

And see the graph of people registering over the last 24h, month quarter and year!

@mattgrayyes that's brilliant! And so good to see young people registering in the data. I hope they go on to vote.

@mattgrayyes Those are not the ages to vote, registration opens 2 years early.

@mattgrayyes although 14/15 year olds in Wales & Scotland can't vote in the General Election only in local elections.

@mattgrayyes Young people make sure you register AND vote.
Old people, don't bother, you've done enough damage.

@missingbrighton
being as I'm an 'Old People' from Wales I'd say watch your mouth you disrespectful kid 😛
Wales has never had a Tory majority yet has had to suffer through all the Tory Governments.

@mattgrayyes wait, in the UK you need to register yourself to be able to vote?

@mattgrayyes@chaos.social

And note the Voter ID Bullshit!
If in doubt, get a Certificate from the Council.

Postal Vote you don't need it and you can get an emergency Proxy Vote close to polling day (a dyspraxic MP* had to at the locals).

*I would have sympathised were he not a Tory.

@mattgrayyes EU citizens living in the UK can't vote in general elections:(

Rib :ms_red_panda:

@mattgrayyes You can't vote if you're under 18, only register, but it's still something worth doing!

> British citizens living abroad!

This is true, but then your local council (Sunderland) will write to you and tell you that your vote will be sent from the UK “around” the 26th June, and that it has to be back by the 22:00 4th July or it doesn’t count.

That’s 6 working days.

For a non-express letter to get from the UK, to anywhere (Australia), and back.

Good luck with that.

@mattgrayyes @robb @johnnydecimal If you know someone still here that you can trust then a better option would be to appoint them as a proxy, they can even represent 4 overseas voters rather than the usual 2 domestic voters.

@mattgrayyes I don’t hecking know where my UK passport is, and I left England as a teenager (see I’ve even taken on the Canadianism of referring to the constituent countries!), otherwise I would consider it
