Any British Citizens who are resident overseas are eligible to vote as long as it was no longer than 15 years ago since they last lived in the UK.
You just need to contact the local district council of the last town you lived in before leaving to live overseas - they will send you a registration form for a postal vote (I get my sister to make a 'proxy' vote on my behalf).

Yes the rolling register is rolling. I just got the forms, however I have to get another UK passport holder to sign it! So if anyone is in the North Bay or SF email me please.

Wow so now all the b/s starts in the Uk. Just as it comes to an end here. I do not think I will bother to vote, they will all do just as they want anyway.
