ALL ADULT BRITISH CITIZENS OVERSEAS NOW HAVE ‘VOTES FOR LIFE’ IF THEY HAVE EVER LIVED IN THE UK More than 6,000 UK citizens overseas applied to be registered to vote on Tuesday January 16,


the day on which the ‘15-year rule’ restriction came to an end. The long-awaited change means that several million extra British citizens are now able to register in theory, having


previously lost the right after being abroad for 15 years or more. READ MORE: HISTORIC VICTORY AS UK VOTER REGISTRATION OPENS TO ALL BRITONS ABROAD The impressive first-day take-up bodes


well for a record number of overseas voters in the next UK general election – expected this autumn – after a previous peak was reached in 2017 when there were 285,000 overseas Britons


registered. Yesterday’s total of 6,337 compares to only 3,231 applications in the rest of January combined, and 441 on January 15 which was itself the highest level seen in recent months


(daily applications were mostly in double figures last year). Up until now only Britons who had been abroad less than 15 years would have been applying to be registered. Voter registration


is online at GOV.UK/REGISTER-TO-VOTE. The process can be completed in around ten minutes, and you should have to hand, if possible, your UK National Insurance number, passport and details of


the address where you were last registered. Other steps will be requested if you need to supply alternative ID or proof of having lived in the UK. Once you have applied to be registered you


will also be offered options to request a postal or proxy vote. READ MORE DETAILS RELEASED ON HOW BRITONS ABROAD CAN RE-REGISTER TO VOTE IN UK
