Local Council Elections 2022: Voter registration

The Local Council Elections will take place on May 5th and there is still time to register to vote or to apply to vote by post or proxy.

Polling cards are now being sent by post to all registered voters and if you are not registered you have until midnight on Thursday 14th April to register.

To register please visit camden.gov.uk/register-to-vote or call Electoral Services on 020 7974 4444.

Once you have registered to vote you can also apply to vote for a postal vote or to vote by proxy.

Postal vote

If you apply to vote by post, your ballot paper will be sent to you ahead of the election and included with your ballot will be instructions on how to complete your vote and return it back to us in time.

In order to receive a postal vote, you must first complete an application form.

You can complete an application form by visiting camden.gov.uk/postal-voting.

You can also request a paper application form by emailing [email protected] or by calling 020 7974 4444.

Postal vote applications need to be completed and returned by 5pm on Tuesday 19th April.

On your application form we will ask for your date of birth and a hand-written signature. To help prevent fraud, you will be required to give these details again when you use your postal vote.

Postal votes are then sent out approximately 10 days before polling day.

Vote by proxy

You can appoint a proxy, which is a person who you chose to vote on your behalf at your polling station. They can be a friend or a relative.

Your appointed proxy will need to cast your vote at your designated polling station and your proxy must be registered to vote and eligible to vote at the election.

You can complete an application form by visiting camden.gov.uk/voting-by-proxy.

You can also request a paper application form by emailing [email protected] or by calling 020 7974 4444.

Proxy vote applications will need to be completed and returned by 5pm on Tuesday 26th April.

Changes to Camden’s electoral wards and polling stations

Following a review by the Local Government Boundary Commission, the number of electoral wards in the borough has increased from 18 to 20.

The Council has reviewed its’ polling districts and polling stations within the new wards and has changed a small number of polling stations.

Registered voters received a letter from the Council in January 2022 confirming their voter registration, electoral ward, and their local polling station for the election on May 5th.

This information will also be on the polling cards that are currently being sent to all registered voters.

Alternatively, you can find your local polling station at any time by visiting wheredoivote.co.uk.
