If you are registered to vote, you can register to vote by post. You must fill out your postal vote application by hand as we require a physical signature and not a digital signature. If you do not have printing facilities please email us at: voting@wiltshire.gov.uk with your full name and address to request a hard copy to be sent to you via post.
You can return your completed postal vote application to us via email voting@wiltshire.gov.uk or via post: Electoral Services, County Hall, Bythesea Road, Trowbridge, Wiltshire, BA14 8JN
If you are registered to vote, a poll card will be sent to you before the election. Your poll card tells you where your polling station will be. You do not need your poll card to vote although it will help the staff at the polling station if you bring it with you.
If you would like to find out where your polling station is in the run up to an election, please contact the Electoral Services team on 0300 456 0112 or elections@wiltshire.gov.uk.
If you are registered to vote and cannot make it to the polling station on polling day, you can nominate someone to vote on your behalf. See more information about proxy voting at the Electoral Commission website.

We send monthly updates to credit reference agencies on the 1st working day of every month. Credit reference agencies will then need to update their records. Use the table in the dropdown above to see when your details will appear on the register.
If we cannot verify your application after you have provided your National Insurance number and date of birth, we will write to you requesting further information.
To verify who you are, you will be required to provide evidence of your identity such as a driving licence or passport. Please do not have to send us original documents, photocopies are acceptable. Once we receive the evidence we can then process your application.
It may be that if you registered yourself online, you made a typo. You could try registering yourself again using the Governments website.
The electoral register lists the names and addresses of everyone who is registered to vote in public elections. The register is used for making sure only eligible people can vote. It is also used for other limited purposes specified in law, such as detecting crime (e.g. fraud), calling people for jury service and checking credit applications.
It is a criminal offence for anyone to supply or use the register for anything else.
The current register was published on 1 December 2022 and is available for inspection under supervision at our three main council offices:
Trowbridge - County Hall, Trowbridge, BA14 8JN
Salisbury - The Council Offices, Bourne Hill, Salisbury, SP1 3UZ
Chippenham - The Council Offices, Monkton Park, SN15 1ER
The open register is an extract of the electoral register but it is not used for elections. It can be bought by any person, company or organisation. For example, it is used by businesses and charities to confirm name and address details.
Your name and address will be included in the open register unless you ask for them to be removed. You can remove your details at any time by contacting us. Please provide your name and address and state that you wish to be removed from the open register.
