Elections and voting

Voter and ballot box

In a democratic country decisions that affect all our lives are made every day by our local councillors and MPs, both in the United Kingdom and in Europe. 

So that every eligible Lambeth resident can, if they wish, exercise their right to vote, we compile and maintain the electoral register every year, and organise and manage elections and referendums in the borough.
