For more details on European Union Citizens voting in European Elections in the United Kingdom please contact the Electoral Commission or the Local Elections Office as detailed on the "Register to Vote" page.
Local Elections include elections to a Local Council, The Welsh, Northern Ireland & London Assemblies, The Scottish Parliament and the election of a directly elected mayor.
As a result of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union, the government plans to end these rights, however currently they remain in force.
The government plans to replace these rights as part of the Elections Bill currently passing through parliament. The government's proposal would allow citizens of member states of the European Union with settled status to continue these rights.
Where an European Union citizen has arrived in the UK after 1st January 2021 and doesn't hold setlled status, the government's proposal would allow EU citizens to continue to vote and stand in local elections where the UK has negotiated reciprocal rights with their individual country.
