Voters need to bring photo ID to the polling station to be able to vote in person in the local elections, after new national legislation was introduced.
A variety of different photo ID can be used to vote, including passport, driver’s licence, blue badge, older or disabled person’s bus pass, Proof of Age Standards Scheme (PASS) card and many more. For the complete list of acceptable forms of ID visit www.cambridge.gov.uk/voter-id-in-polling-stations
Anyone without an acceptable ID should apply for a Voter Authority Certificate either online (at www.gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-voter-authority-certificate) or by post. This is a free photo ID document issued for the specific purpose of voting at a polling station. The deadline to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate for the elections on 4 May is 5pm on Tuesday 25 April.
Robert Pollock, returning officer for the local elections said: “Voting at these elections means you will help decide on local councillors to represent your area.
“If you have moved recently, are a student wishing to vote in Cambridge, or know you are not yet registered, I would encourage you to register by 17 April so you have the option to vote in this year’s local elections. Don’t forget to bring along some photo ID on 4 May – and please help spread the word to friends and family about the need to show ID if you’re voting at a polling station.”
Please remember:
- You should be registered to vote by 11.59pm on Monday 17 April
- If you know that you are not registered to vote or have moved recently you can register by visiting www.gov.uk/register-to-vote. You will need your National Insurance number to hand in order to register.
- You can apply to vote by post before 5pm on Tuesday 18 April by visiting www.electoralcommission.org.uk You don't need photo ID to vote by post, and your postal vote ballot paper will be sent to you before polling day.
- You can apply to vote by proxy (have someone vote on your behalf) before 5pm on Tuesday 25 April by visiting www.electoralcommission.org.uk Your proxy will need to go to your polling station on 4 May and have their own photo ID to vote on your behalf.
