Commonwealth and Irish Citizens
The right of some non-British residents, namely Commonwealth and Irish citizens, to vote in UK elections is a result of historic ties with the UK.
Citizens of the Republic of Ireland and qualifying Commonwealth citizens who are resident in the UK are eligible to register for, and vote in, all elections in the UK.
A qualifying Commonwealth citizen is someone who is resident in the UK and who has leave to remain in the UK or does not require leave to remain. Electoral registration officers can check the immigration status of applicants from a Commonwealth nation.
