Last few days to register to vote
16/04/2026
Local elections take place on May 7
There’s just a few days left for anyone who isn’t on the Electoral Roll to get their details added if they want to vote in May’s Local Elections.
The polls will be open three weeks today to elect just over a third of the councillors at Cherwell District Council. A number of Parish Council elections are also taking place.
The deadline to register to vote is next Monday (April 20), up until just before midnight.
Those already registered to vote at their current address do not need to re-register, but anyone who has moved home since they last registered to vote, changed their name, or recently turned 18 must register.
Gordon Stewart, Returning Officer, said: “Registering to vote is really quick and easy. The local elections are an important opportunity for residents to make their voices heard and have their say on who they want representing their communities. To cast your vote on 7 May, make sure you are registered to vote before midnight on 20 April.”
