Did you know that to vote in the EU Referendum that you have to register?

I didn't. ...I assumed that because I was already registered to vote that I would automatically be sent the necessary voting card.

You need to register before the 7th June and this is the link to the Government website

Do I need to re-register to vote in the EU Referendum?
Anyone who was already registered to vote (or recently registered) before the 18 April deadline for the elections taking place across the UK on 5 May will also be registered to vote at the EU Referendum and will be able to cast their vote. You do not need to re-register.

If your circumstances change, for example you move home between now and the EU Referendum registration deadline on 7 June, then you will need to re-register at your new property.
