The general election has prompted almost 10,000 people to register to vote in Brighton and Hove, taking the total to just over 200,000.
And even more people tried to register only to find that they were already on the electoral roll, Brighton and Hove City Council said.
The number of people who contacted the council to register totalled 26,685 but 17,546 of those were classed as duplicates – that is, they were on the register already.
Almost 3,000 overseas voters will be able to vote along with 115 homeless people who have a local connection.
The number of electors in registered in the Brighton Pavilion constituency is 75,486. In Hove it is 74,236. And in Brighton Kemptown the figure is 67,907.
The total of 217,629 is almost identical to the number at the 2015 general election. It is more than the 201,733 on the electoral roll in Brighton and Hove because the Brighton Kemptown constituency includes voters from the Lewes district – in part of Saltdean and in Peacehaven.
The number of postal votes is up by about 3,000 on two years ago with 42,964 requests across the three seats.
Those turning out in person will vote in one of the 127 polling stations in Brighton and Hove or the 10 in the Lewes district in the Brighton Kemptown constituency.
