If EU elections are held in the UK on May 23, EU citizens resident in Swindon can vote in them here.

To apply for a vote in Swindon they must apply by Tuesday May 7.Applications can be made via a link on swindon.gov.uk. Citizens must not have made an application to vote in the elections in their home state.

If EU citizens intend to vote in the elections in their home country rather than the UK, they should contact the electoral authorities in that country.

Some member states have closed their registration lists it may be that some EU citizens who have not registered in their home state have no alternative to voting here in the UK.

It is still possible that Britain could leave the EU before the May 23 election date.

In that case elections will not be held in this county and an EU citizen who wished to vote would not be able to do so in the UK.

In that case they should contact their country's UK embassy.
