The Electoral Services Section is responsible for the publication of the Register of Electors. It also organises all elections held within St. Albans City and District ie. Parish, District, County, Parliamentary and European.
On the 1st December each year, a Register must be published using information from the annual audit of all households undertaken during September, October and November. Under new regulations the Register is also updated on a monthly basis from December to August . This allows anyone who has moved into or within the district to update their Registration details. Please see our electoral registration page for more details.
We hold elections by thirds (ie. one third of Councillors are voted in each year) and the Electoral Services Section organises all the polling stations, staff, ballot papers etc., to ensure the smooth running of the elections. It also processes all applications to vote by post or proxy. Please see our voting page for more details.
The overall aim of the service is to manage the electoral registration and election process in a transparent, accountable and innovative manner, to ensure that local people are fully able to exercise their right to vote and influence decisions that affect their lives.
