Register to vote

Register to vote as a crown servant or as a British Council employee

If you work as a crown servant or as an employee of the British council overseas, you can register to vote as a service voter.

You can also register if you are the spouse or civil partner of a crown servant or British council employee, and you are accompanying them during their employment abroad.

You must still fit the eligibility criteria in order to register as a crown servant.

You can vote in all elections and referendums you are eligible for.

If you are overseas at the time of an election or referendum, you may consider applying for a postal or proxy vote. It is important to note that the postal vote is subject to the international post system. Your postal vote may not arrive with you, or get back to us, in time to be counted. For this reason, appointing a proxy may be the best way to make sure you are able to cast your vote.
