People wishing to vote in the upcoming election and who are not already registered have until 18 June to do so.
Voters requiring a postal vote have until 5pm on 19 June to apply, while those looking for a proxy vote have until 5pm on 26 June to apply.
Acting Returning Officer Ian Davidson is urging voters to have their say on 4 July.
“Those who have a vote next month can use it to have their say on who will represent them in the House of Commons for the next term of office,” Mr Davidson said.
“If people want to make their views known and influence who is elected then that is the time to do it.
“People should take the time now to make sure they are registered to vote and, if voting in person at a polling station, that they have a valid photo ID.”
