Can Tier 1 (General) visa holder from Commonwealth Country vote in the General local elections? I wanted to register in the voter list and found this useful information. Please clarify whether a person on Tier 1 Visa vote in the elections? The site says that "To qualify, Commonwealth citizens must be resident in the UK and either have leave to remain in the UK or not require such leave. The definition of a 'Commonwealth citizen' includes citizens of British Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories."
It does NOT say ILR. I guess Tier 1 (General) migrant is 'Leave to enter and remain'

yes you can (although have been hearing that this is going to be changed in future). Get in touch with your council's electoral team - the will send you a form. If you are on electoral register it also helps in improving your credit score.

Thanks brother. I have already sent my form. I did this to improve my credit score as I do not have any credit history here. Do we get any confirmation from them? I mean Voting Card or something like that?

No you dont. Apart from the Annual updation which takes place between Oct & Dec the revised registers are published every month. Send an email to your council's electoral team and they will confirm whether or not ur name has been added.
You receive Voting cards nearer the election dates.
