Requirement to show photographic ID in polling stations

Last year the Government introduced the requirement for electors voting in the polling station to show an accepted form of photographic ID before being issued with a ballot paper.  If you do not have any of the acceptable photographic ID, you can apply for a free election ID, known as a Voter Authority Certificate.  For more information, visit our Voter ID page.

The deadline to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate in time for these elections is 5pm on Wednesday 24 April 2024.

Voting by post

If you are unable to attend the polling station, you can apply to vote by post. If you are not already a postal voter, we must receive your application by 5pm on Wednesday 17 April 2024.  You can make an application online at www.gov.uk/apply-postal-vote

For more information visit out vote by post page.

Voting by proxy

If you are unable to attend the polling station, you can apply to nominate somebody you trust to go to your polling station to vote on your behalf.  This person is known as your proxy.

Your proxy will need to show their own acceptable photo ID when voting on your behalf.  You will still be able to vote in person at your polling station if your proxy has not already voted for you.

Your proxy can apply to vote on your behalf by post. If they have a postal vote for your vote, you will not be able to vote in the polling station.

There are new limits to how many people an elector can act as a proxy for. At the same election, someone can only be a proxy for two people based in the UK. If they are acting as proxy for people living overseas, they can act as proxy for up to four people but only two of these can be based in the UK.

The deadline for us to receive applications to vote by proxy is 5pm on Wednesday 24 April 2024.  You can make an application online at www.gov.uk/apply-proxy-vote
