EU citizens are only able to vote in local elections and European Parliamentary elections. Their entry on the electoral register has special marks - a “G” mark to indicate that they are registered to vote in local elections and a “K” mark once they have completed a declaration that states they wish to vote in EU parliamentary elections in the United Kingdom.
