Voting in General Elections

Hi all

We're here on a 457 and have been for the past year or so. Any ideas how we go about casting our votes in the upcoming UK elections? I'm presuming we can do it electronically in this day and age but can anyone give us an insight as to how it is done?

ta!

the timeline seems a bit tight and i decided not to register and that it wasnt fair seeing as i dont actually live there or intend to live there in the lifetime of the next parliament.
