Accessibility statement for Register to vote
The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government is committed to making the Register to vote service accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This accessibility statement applies to the Register to vote service only and not the wider GOV.UK website. There’s another accessibility statement for the main GOV.UK site.
Compliance status
Register to vote is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliance listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reason:
- users who ‘skip to main content’ (using the tab key) will continue to bypass the header on all remaining journey steps. This fails WCAG success criterion 2.4.3 (Focus Order).
We’ll continue to explore ways that we can rectify this non-accessible issue.
Preparation of this accessibility statement
This statement was prepared on 2 December 2025. It was last reviewed on 5 December 2025.
Register to vote was last tested in September 2025 against the WCAG 2.2 AA standard. This was carried out by the Government Digital Service (GDS).
We also used findings from our own testing when preparing this accessibility statement.
