Residents of Bournemouth, Broadstone, and Poole must register to vote by midnight on April 20, 2026, for the upcoming town council elections on May 7. This is crucial for those not already registered as elections will select representatives for local parish matters. Registration is quick, taking about five minutes online via the BCP Council website. Returning Officer Aidan Dunn encourages residents to verify their voting details, especially after moving. Voters can cast ballots in-person, by post, or via proxy, but must show photo ID. Those without an accepted ID can apply for a free voter authority certificate.
