Electoral register

Household enquiry forms

Every residential property in Hull has been sent a household enquiry form as part of the annual canvass. This is to make sure the Electoral Register is as up to date as possible when it is published on the Thursday 1 December.

If you are already registered you do not need to re register.However we do require a response to this form even if there are no changes.

If you are a new resident at the property add your details to the household enquiry form. Each new occupant (over 16) can individually register themselves below and complete the process.

Please respond to the household enquiry form using the methods listed on the form.

If you need any help please email electoral.services@hullcc.gov.uk

Alternatively telephone 01482 300 302.

You can only vote in local, national and European elections if you are registered on the electoral register (also known as the electoral roll).

The electoral register is a list of all the residents in Hull who are eligible to vote at local, national and European elections.

All citizens of Britain, Ireland, European Union and Commonwealth countries should register to vote.


The registration system changed in 2014. Everyone is now responsible for registering themselves. You will need your national insurance number details when you register.

How to register or change your details

If you have moved, changed your name, or are not yet registered you can update your details on the electoral register at any point during the year by accessing the link below.


Registering to vote anonymously

If you feel your safety may be at risk if your details were published on the voters list, you can apply to register anonymously.

Electoral register and credit

If you have been turned down for credit because you are not on the electoral register, the first thing you should do is contact us to check if you are actually registered to vote.

The credit referencing agencies are allowed by law to buy a copy of the electoral register so they can check that people live where they say they are. However, it does take them some time to update their records, so they may not have up to date information.

Electoral register and council tax

If you pay council tax you are not automatically registered to vote, this is because council tax and the electoral roll are separate.

Not all council tax payers are eligible to appear on the electoral roll. For example, this could be due to their nationality. However, some people are exempt from paying council tax but may still register to vote.

Inspecting the register

An updated electoral register is published each year on 1 December. Monthly updates are made to the register up until September.
