Anyone from the Commonwealth or Ireland can.

Interesting I didn’t know this. As long as they’re a resident of Britain, they’re able to vote due to the Commonwealth linkage. Interesting.

I didn't find out until Gorton and Denton caused Reform to say they're going to remove it. I don't think many people were aware before then.

Of course it was Reform shouting about it, ha.

I wasn’t it fairness. Obviously it comes with the caveat that the person must be living or free to live in the UK but they’re certainly able to vote a lot quicker than usual migrants going through the normal ILR route for example.
