British citizens living abroad can be registered in the same parliamentary constituency as they were registered prior to going abroad. In order to qualify as an Overseas Elector you must have been on the Northern Ireland Electoral Register at some point within the last 15 years or, if you were not old enough to vote, your parent or guardian must have been registered.

Overseas electors can vote in Westminster Parliamentary and European Parliamentary elections, but not Northern Ireland Assembly or Local Government elections. You will need to appoint someone (known as a "proxy") to vote on your behalf as postal votes cannot be sent outside the UK. Alternatively you can vote in person if you will be at home on polling day.

This form is to be completed by European electors (not British or Irish) who wish to vote at European elections in Northern Ireland. It must only be completed after the elector has been added to the electoral register through completion of a standard registration form.
