Local Connection Registration

South Staffordshire You can register by completing an annual declaration of local connection form for one of three reasons if you have no fixed abode:

homeless
remand prisoner
patient in a mental health hospital

A Declaration of Local Connection can be made at any time throughout the year and will be valid for 12 months, but may be cancelled at any time by the declarant.

Homeless people may register at the address of a place where they spend a substantial part of their time either during the day or at night (or the address nearest to that place).

Patients in Mental Hospitals and Remand Prisoners may register at:

The institution where they are currently resident; or the address at which they would be living (or have previously lived). Note - these institutions are not included in the Annual Canvass.

Electors registered by Declaration of Local Connection under this category can only vote by post or proxy.

A Declaration of Local Connection must be received by the Electoral Registration Officer within 3 months of the date of the Declaration, otherwise it is invalid.
