Poll cards
Poll cards will be issued to all registered electors at the end of March. A poll card will be sent to new electors, who registered after the 1 March 2023 up until the deadline for registration, around the Friday before polling day.
Poll cards are changing!
From May 2023, in order to list the suitable form of photo ID acceptable at a polling station, poll cards will be A4 size.
Acceptable voter ID will include a passport, driving licence and a national concessionary bus pass. Certain other ID will also be acceptable and will be listed on the back of the card. The ID does not have to be valid provided that the photograph is still a suitable likeness. If you do not have any of the ID listed, you can apply for a apply for a Voter Authority Certificate that will be posted direct to your registered address.
The poll card will list the electoral areas - ward and parish council, though not all areas will have both elections as many parishes are likely to be uncontested. At the polling station and with postal votes, electors will be presented with one or two ballot papers - different colours. It will say how many votes you have on each ballot paper.
Postal votes will be handed to Royal Mail for delivery around 20 April and will sent out first class post. However, if you apply after the 20 March it will be sent out around the Friday before polling week.
If you have appointed a proxy to vote on your behalf at your allocated polling station, both you and your proxy will be sent a card.

Your poll card will tell you which polling station you need to go to.
