Anyone who is not registered must do so by 11.59pm on June 16 by either going online to gov.uk or calling 01223 457048 for a paper application form.

Residents can apply for a postal or proxy vote at electoralcommission.org.uk.

People voting in person for the by-election will need to show photo ID.
