How can I check that I'm registered to vote for the general election?

Poll cards will be sent out for all registered electors from 5 June, if you receive a poll card for this election, you are registered to vote and you don't need to register.

If you don't receive a poll card, you may not be registered. You can call us during office hours on 024 7683 3034 to check if you're registered.

Alternatively, you could email us at electoral.services@coventry.gov.uk - we'll need your full name and current address to check this for you.

What if I'm moving house?

If you move house before 18 June, you should re-register at www.gov.uk/registertovote.

If you move house after 18 June, it is too late to change your address before the election on 4 July. You may still be registered at your previous address.
