VOTING IN MAY – YOU NEED PHOTO ID !!
Voters must now show photographic ID when voting in person at polling stations.
WHAT ID CAN I USE ??
Accepted forms of ID include a UK, European Economic Area (EEA) or Commonwealth passport; a UK, EEA or Commonwealth drivers’ licence; and some concessionary travel passes, such as an older person’s bus pass or an Oyster 60+ card. Voters will be able to use expired ID if they are still recognisable from the photo.
I HAVEN’T GOT ONE OF THE ACCEPTED FORMS OF ID – WHAT DO I DO ?
Apply free to get a voting ID certificate. Do this on online or on a paper application form.

WHY NOT DO A POSTAL VOTE INSTEAD??
Instead of voting in person you can vote by post.
