Welcome to the Norfolk Voter Registration Campaign! Our goal is to make sure everyone in Norfolk has the tools and information they need to vote confidently and independently.
You can help make that happen! Whether you share reminders on social media, display posters, or set up your own voter registration stall in your waiting area or at an event, your organisation can help make sure no one misses out on their chance to vote.
We have created some materials you can use, and we are on hand to help you get involved!
Step by step information on registering to vote, checking Photo ID and more
Read and share www.ncan.co.uk/vote – your step by step guide to getting ready to vote, covering: how to register to vote; how to check if you have valid Photo ID; how to get a Postal Vote; how to contact your local elections team, and more.
Social media, email and website banners
You can find our range of digital materials in our Google Drive. If you have any trouble accessing these just drop us a line at ruth@ncan.co.uk. There is also a wealth of resources available from the Electoral Commission.

Voter Registration stalls
We can set up and run a voter registration stall at your organisation or event (or support you to do so), and we can provide training for staff or volunteers about the new rules around Voter ID. Just get in touch for a chat – ruth@ncan.co.uk.
Getting more involved in the Norfolk Voter Registration Campaign
If you run workshops or groups, particularly with young people, you might be interested in Democracy Classroom, which contains a wealth of democracy-related resources for teachers and facilitators.
There are also national voter registration and participation campaigns targeted at young people, people with learning disabilities and autistic people, women, BME communities and migrants.
Sign up to our mailing list for all the latest news including updates on this campaign.
Rules about charities and political activities
Remember – while charities can take part in voter registration drives, you must not attempt to influence how someone votes, or encourage people to vote for or against any candidate or party. Our focus is on providing individuals with the tools and information they need to participate in elections confidently and independently. Find out more about charities and election law in this Q&A from lawyers Stone King.
