Running electoral registration - England

What if an address isn’t listed on the IER Digital service?

What if an address isn’t listed on the IER Digital service?

The UK government Register to Vote website uses the Ordnance Survey addressing service. Users input their postcode and select their address from the list provided. However, occasionally a user’s postcode or address does not appear in the Ordnance Survey database, for example, if an address is a new build. 

Where the postcode is recognised but the required address does not appear, users will be able to manually add their address. If the postcode is not recognised, the user will also be able to select the local authority responsible for the area they live in from a drop down list.
