Leicester City Council
Leicester City Council's Electoral Services can assist residents with various voting-related tasks. You can register to vote, check your voter registration status, or apply for a postal vote. The department is available during regular operating hours, and you can also make general electoral enquiries, such as finding out about polling stations and voting procedures. During peak election periods, there might be longer wait times, so calling outside these times or using email for non-urgent queries is recommended. The best times to call are typically mid-morning or early afternoon.
