It's time once again! The below is copied from https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote. The site is easy to use and registration takes less than five minutes. I'll be voting for the Scottish Green Party.

Check which elections you’re eligible to vote in.
You can vote when you’re 18 or over. If you live in Scotland or Wales, you can vote in some elections when you’re 16 or over.
You normally only need to register once - not for every election. You’ll need to register again if you’ve changed your name, address or nationality.
