Voting in Birmingham Local Elections: Thursday 7 May 2026
Register to vote
You can use this service to:
- get on the electoral register so you can vote in elections and referendums in the UK
- opt out of the ‘open’ register – the version of the electoral register that’s available for anyone to buy
- update your name, address or nationality by registering again with your new details (if you live in the UK)
There’s a different process to register anonymously, for example if you’re concerned about your safety or the safety of someone in your household.
You can check if you’re already registered to vote by contacting your electoral registration office.

New Cycle Routes
We are committed to improving our city’s access to active travel – it helps keep our residents and our environment healthy. To support this, we have created a collection of 13 online maps showing bike and walking friendly routes linking all 69 wards of Birmingham to encourage people to get outside and choose sustainable transport more often.
The routes highlight existing cycle infrastructure, beautiful green spaces, quiet streets, as well as key places of interest (such as the best cafes and toilet stops) and other fab hidden gems across the city. Having these maps will enable you to explore your local area and further afield by bike and foot with confidence.
