How To Vote

In the UK there are three different ways you can vote:

• Voting at a polling station
• Voting by post
• Voting by proxy

You can find out how to vote on The Electoral Commission web site: www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter

Voter ID

If you are planning to vote at a polling station you will need to show photographic ID.

Accepted ID includes a passport, driver’s licence, blue badge and some concessionary travel passes, such as an older person’s bus pass. You can use expired ID if you’re still recognisable from the photo.

If you don't have an accepted form of photo ID, you can apply for a free voter ID document, known as a Voter Authority Certificate.

A full list of accepted ID and information on how to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate is available here: www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter/voter-id/accepted-forms-photo-id

You will not need ID to vote by post.
