No, not at all. Voting is anonymous and doesn't require you to be a party member or pay any fees. You just have to be on the electoral register (for which one family member needs to declare who's living at your address every few years), and that gives you the right to vote in person. You need photo ID these days, but most people have something suitable and, if not, you can get it free of charge.

There's a bit more bureaucracy to go through if you want a postal vote, but it's not onerous and no one tries to stop you from voting, and you don't pay for the stamp.
