No qualifications, you must be over 18 and a British citizen and that's about it.

In Britain women and men from 18 who are a citizen of the UK, a Commonwealth country or the republic of Ireland can all vote, you also have to be a resident in a constituency and registered with the electoral register, however there are exceptions if you are in prison you cannot vote people convicted for electoral malpractice loose there right to vote for 5 years. People who are in psychiatric hospitals not under there own will cannot vote. Although most over the age of 18 have the right to vote now it was not until 1880 that all men had the right to vote if they were over 21 and for women it was not until 1928 they got the vote. Later it was changed so that 18yrs old and up could vote.
