Living abroad or moving overseas
If you are a British Citizen you can register as an ‘overseas elector’ up to 15 years after you were listed on the UK register. If you were too young to appear on the register the date used is the date you left the UK.
To register as an overseas elector you need to complete an overseas elector's declaration form. The information you share will need to be supported by a British Citizen who lives in the same country as you. You will have to register every year.
