Voters urged not to forget their ID in May

The next local government elections are due to take place on 4 May 2023. And for the first time, voters across the country will be required to show their ID at the polling stations in order to vote. Make sure you take your ID along with you on the day. Check what types of ID will be acceptable or how to receive a voter ID card, at www.voter-authority-certificate.service.gov.uk/

If you are already registered to vote and your details or address haven’t changed, you don’t need to do anything. But if you need to register to vote for the first time, you have moved since the last election, or your details have changed, you can complete the simple online form in just two minutes. Visit www.gov.uk/register-to-vote to make sure you have a voice in upcoming elections.
