Plymouth City Council says more than 850 students and young people have been 'incorrectly' added to the electoral register.
The council has written to 247 under-18s in the Plymouth Sutton and Devonport constituency who have been sent polling cards despite being under age.
Additionally, 635 students are on the register without having filled in an 'invitation to register' form.
The council says it is writing to everyone affected to say they have been removed from the list, and if they believe they are eligible to vote they must re-register.
