    Howcome there was a small article in yesterday's Metro and Journal saying that the deadline to register to vote in the next referendum is the 25th of November? I thought that the register is open for a period running up to an election or referendum? I.e. The date of referendum needs to be announced first?

    If you need to add your name or change your entry in the draft Register, you can do this up to 25 November each year. You must fill in form RFA1 for the draft Register. You can get an RFA1 form from your local post office or public library. Forms are also available from your local authority and this is where completed forms should be returned to.

    If you are applying because you have moved to a new address, you should include this information and your former address so that you can be removed from the register for that area.

    The amended Register of Electors is published on 1 February and comes into force on 15 February.

    I don't know if there are any special other rules. Seems a pain in the ass that it can't be changed online.

    Oh I also see this:
    If you miss this deadline, you can apply to have your name included in the Supplement to the Electoral Register. To do so, you will need to complete a Change of Address form and return it to your local authority. There is no fee for this service.
