Hello Leonie, You do not say where he was born ...... if it was the UK he would not have had to be "naturalised" before having his name put on the Electoral Roll and having the right to vote ...... I know this for certain as both my late husband and my present husband were / are Brits who have never been naturalised ...... both were / are on the Electoral Roll and did / do vote. If I remember correctly, this was something extended to all those from Commonwealth countries in the old days ...... it definitely did, and does, apply to those from the UK, even today. But they can choose if they want to be on the Roll or not...... it is not compulsory, as it is for us. Kindest Regards ......
