Elections 2023
Voter ID
There is a new legal requirement for voters at the polling station from 04 May 2023.
Voters will have to present a valid form of photographic ID to be issued a Ballot Paper. This requirement is for all elections, including any by-elections that take place after this date.
Accepted forms of ID:
- Passport
- Driving licence
- A blue Badge
- Bus pass
They do not have to be in date but most match the current address and have a photo that can be recognised.
It will be the law - If a person can not provide ID they will not be able to vote.
If a voter does not have valid ID, they can apply for a Voter Authority Certificate (VAC) at the gov.uk website, in person at the Civic offices or by post. Details are enclosed in the leaflet.
