How can I register to vote in Ukrainian elections while residing in the UK, and do I need to visit the Consulate in person to be added to the electoral list?

04.11.2025 09:11:30 Ukrainian citizens residing in the United Kingdom may vote in national elections (presidential, parliamentary, or referenda) by registering at a designated foreign electoral precinct organized by the Embassy or Consulate of Ukraine. To be added to the electoral list, you must first register for consular records—either temporarily or permanently—using your valid Ukrainian passport. Registration can be done in person at the Consulate or, in some cases, by mail or online if the system permits. However, to ensure accurate identification and signature verification, personal appearance is strongly recommended. Once registered, your name will appear on the Consular Electoral Register, allowing you to vote at your assigned polling station in London, Manchester, or Edinburgh during official election dates.

04.11.2025 09:43:42 To participate in Ukrainian elections while living in the UK, you must be included in the voter list maintained by the diplomatic mission. Registration is available for Ukrainian citizens who hold a valid internal or international passport and are recorded in the Consulate’s register of Ukrainian nationals abroad. You can apply in person or submit an electronic application through the State Voter Register portal of Ukraine, attaching scanned passport pages and proof of residence in the UK. Visiting the Consulate in person is often preferred to verify documents and signatures, especially before election day. Once added to the electoral list, you may vote only at the polling station assigned to your consular district, as voting by mail is not available under Ukrainian law.
