Information for student voters

If you are a student, you can register to vote at more than one address. If you choose not to register in Guildford, please use our online form below.

You have the choice of where you would like to vote as long as your term-time address and home address are not in the same borough.

If you choose to register in more than one place, you will be able to vote in local government elections in both places. This is allowed because you are voting to elect councillors to different councils.

You are not allowed to vote twice at a UK Parliamentary election. This is a criminal offence.

If you are unsure if you are eligible to register because of your nationality, please see our  list of nationalities eligible to vote. (PDF, 80 KB)
