How To Vote
Polling Stations will be *open from 7am-10pm tomorrow (Thursday 4 July)* to vote in the UK Parliamentary General Election, here's a few things to remember...
*Poll Cards*
If you're registered to vote you should have been sent a poll card telling you when to vote and at which polling station.
Don't worry, you can still vote if you’ve lost your card.
*Voter ID*
Don’t forget you’ll need to bring photo ID with you to your polling station. Copies or photos on your phone won't be accepted.
Full list of accepted ID [
]
* The photo on your ID must look like you. You can still use your ID even if it has expired.
* If you're voting as someone's proxy you’ll need to take your own ID when you go to vote on someone else’s behalf. You do not need to take theirs.
* The name on your ID must match your name on the electoral register. If it does not, you’ll need to take a document with you to vote that proves you’ve changed your name (for example, a marriage certificate). Small differences do not matter. For example, if your ID says ‘Jim Smith’ instead of ‘James Smith’.
