If you are a Gnosall resident and you want a say in what happens locally and nationally, getting on the electoral register is the key first step. It only takes a few minutes, and it can also help with things like proving your address for credit checks.

Where to start (the official route)

Stafford Borough Council points residents to the official online registration service. Start here: https://www.staffordbc.gov.uk/how-do-you-register-to-vote

The form is done online and you will usually need your National Insurance number and date of birth. If you have moved house recently (even just within Gnosall), it is worth checking you are registered at your current address.

Quick checklist before you begin

• Your current address in Gnosall (and any previous address if you have moved recently)
• National Insurance number (if you have one)
• Date of birth
• A few minutes to complete the online form

Need help, or cannot do it online?

If you are stuck, do not have internet access, or you are unsure what applies to you, Stafford Borough Council can advise on the right next step, including alternative ways to register. The simplest starting point is their voter registration page here: https://www.staffordbc.gov.uk/how-do-you-register-to-vote

Bottom line: if you can vote, registering is the small admin job that makes the bigger democratic bit possible.
