If I wanted to vote in the election in the UK even though I reside in NZ could I? I know it is probably too late but I just wondered if it was possible.

go to www.direct.gov.uk

If you have voted in the last 15 years and you are abroad (and obviously a brit.citizen!!) you can vote. Just type in 'overseas voter' on the search bar and that will take you to a link where the second choice down will take to to another link where you can register to vote. Sorry have no idea if you have left it too late for this one but if not there's always next time.

That link should be www.direct.gov.uk

You either need to already be on the electoral role so a voting card would have shown up at the address you have on the role for you to vote in person, or you need to already have applied for an received a postal voting form - but the deadline for those was yesterday IIRC. Third option is a proxy vote but I think the deadline for that has passed too...

Cheers mate..have altered the details above so it goes directly thru' now. Couldn't work out what I had done wrong...duuuh!

Cheers both for the link, we should have registered by the 20th of April (oops) oh well we can complete the forms just in case we fancy voting next time.

Thanks once again

Well you could have voted for the people that embezzled false expenses or you could have voted for the ones who knew it was going on but kept quiet about it........

I didn't get my form over in time.
I was bullied into even thinking about it by a work mate.
I didn't realise that I could vote until last year...the is the last year that I will be eligible to
It seemed wrong for me to vote in an electorate that I lived in for 6 months 12 years ago...but that's just me.

I think I would agree - unless you have plans to be part of the population affected by this vote in the near future??

Erm....why??

You could have done but you needed to register by 20th April and due to the volcano issues very few postal votes were sent from the UK.

Conspiracy theory anyone????
