While the Queen and the Royal family are allowed to vote, traditionally they do not because it could be considered unconstitutional. What that means is that while legally she is entitled to vote, tradition and how the role of the Royal family has evolved have made it unconstitutional (not allowed) because it would be seen as interfering in politics.

Elections are for commoners. A Monarch serves for life (subject to abdication). When a Monarch dies, the eldest child of the Monarch succeeds to the Throne and serves for life. No. The queen is not registered as a candidate in any constituency.


How does the Queen vote in a British Election what happens when the government changes?

I'm not sure what exactly it is that you're asking, but I'll try to answer the part that does make sense.The Queen is entitled to vote in elections (by virtue of being a British citizen) however, for constitutional reasons (she's the Head of State) she does not vote as this would confer political preference or allegiance, amongst other reasons. For the same reasons, senior members of the Royal Family also do not vote, because of their proximity to The Queen and their immediacy to the line of succession.

Can a King of a country vote during elections?

In most constitutional monarchies there is a constitutional bar to the monarch voting. In the UK, the Queen can theoretically vote and she is on the electoral register, but she never votes, to do so would compromise her constitutional position.
