Electoral register

If you have recently changed your name and you need to update it on the electoral register, you need to make a new application to register to vote on GOV.UK.

Alternatively, you can complete a change of name form and provide us with a copy of one of the following documents:

• marriage or civil partnership certificate
• overseas marriage or civil partnership certificate
• amended birth certificate
• deed poll

To request a change of name form, contact us at elections@hounslow.gov.uk. You can also contact us for guidance if you don't have any of the documents listed above.

You then need to send your documents to us.

If your name is spelt incorrectly in the electoral register, contact us at elections@hounslow.gov.uk.

We can only process your request for change if you live in the London Borough of Hounslow. If you're not sure you live in the borough, you can check which council area you live in on GOV.UK.

After your request, we will correct your name on the register. However, if the incorrect spelling was not due to an error we made when processing your voter registration application, we may ask you to provide proof of the correct spelling of your name. For example, your current passport or driving licence.

If you have recently changed your nationality and you need to update it on the electoral register, you need to make a new application to register to vote on GOV.UK.

Alternatively, you can inform us of this change by providing:

• your full name and address
• your nationality (if you hold dual citizenship, please list the nationality that grants you more voting rights)
• a copy of one of either your:
  • passport
  • certificate of naturalisation

You then need to send the information and your supporting document to us.

If you have recently changed address, you need to make a new application to register to vote on GOV.UK.

Please remember to include your old address when completing the application form. This information will be used to remove you from the electoral register at your previous address.

If someone has moved out from your address, contact us at elections@hounslow.gov.uk with their full name and your home address. 

We will then review the information and update the electoral register accordingly.

We can only process your request if the address is in the London Borough of Hounslow. If you're not sure the address is in in the borough, you can check which council area the address is in on GOV.UK.

If someone at your address has died, contact us at elections@hounslow.gov.uk to request their details to be removed from the electoral register. Please include the person's full name and home address in your email. If possible, please also provide a copy of their death certificate. See: Sending documents to us
