Vote in Elections - 18 yrs.

Every year between August and September, forms are sent to each household to be filled in by a householder who is over 18. On this form the names of all members of the household who are 16 and a half and over should be included.

A representative will call to collect this form. A draft register is drawn up in November. Notices will be put in the paper suggesting people to go to their local post office to check the register to make sure their names are on it. If it is not you can phone the electoral office and ask for a claim form to be sent out. You then have to attend a hearing, bring proof of who you are and explain why your name is not on the draft register. These hearings are usually held once a month.
