Running electoral registration - Wales

How should electors registered by making a declaration of local connection be listed in the register?

All persons registered through a declaration of local connection must be included at the end of each relevant part of the register under the heading ‘other electors’ without an address. Their names are to be included in alphabetical order, grouped together with any service voters and overseas electors, but before any anonymously registered electors.1  

As set out in our guidance on eligibility to register, the parliamentary and local government registers are combined. The combined register will need to make clear the date on which those included on it that are under 18 years of age will become 18 years old in order to clearly show their eligibility to vote in different elections. 

No information on those aged under 16 must be included on any version of the register published or otherwise made available, except in very limited circumstances. For further information, see our guidance on access and supply.

The entry in the combined registers of any person who is registered only as a local government elector by virtue of being a qualifying foreign citizen must give an indication of that fact.
