The EU Referendum may not be for another two weeks, but the deadline to register is only hours away. If you have not received your polling card in the post you are not registered to vote... it's as simple as that! But don’t worry, if you quickly dig out your National Insurance number and fill in the online form you'll be ready to go. It only takes a couple of minutes!
Why Should I Register?
If you are registered you can actually go out and vote on 23rd June, rather than sitting and watching as others make an important decision for you. It doesn’t matter whether you’re in, out, or undecided – if you’re not registered to vote, you can’t have your say!
Up to 1.5 million of the UK’s 18-24 year old residents are still not registered to vote. Are you one of them? Remember that the outcome of this vote will have a big impact on your future, so don’t miss out on being a part of it.

What If I'm Not Here on 23rd June?
If you’re one of the lucky ones that got tickets to Glastonbury, or if you are going to be on holiday on Election Day, make sure you apply for a postal vote by Wednesday 8th June. Find our more here.
If you're still undecided on which way you will vote, take a look at some neutral information on the EU at #TurnUp, a campaign by our friends at HOPE not hate and Bite the Ballot.
