Voting on Thursday 2 May 2024
These elections will use the First Past the Post voting method on Thursday 2 May 2024.
You need photo ID to vote at elections in polling stations.
The UK Government introduced a requirement in 2023 for voters to show photo ID when voting at a polling station at all elections in England.
This new requirement will apply again in England at the elections taking place on Thursday 2 May 2024.
At these elections you will need to bring acceptable photo ID to be able to vote at a polling station. Those voting by postal vote do not need to provide ID as separate security measures are already in place for voting by post.
Which forms of ID can I use to vote at a polling station?
You may already have a form of photo ID that is acceptable. You can use any of the following:
- Passport
- Driving licence (including provisional licence)
- Blue badge
- Certain concessionary travel cards
- Identity card with PASS mark (Proof of Age Standards Scheme)
- Biometric Immigration document
- Defence identity card
- Certain national identity cards
For more information on which forms of photo ID will be accepted, visit The Electoral Commission website or call their helpline on 0800 328 0280.
If you have a form of accepted ID that is out of date but still looks like you, you can still use it to vote.
You must show the original version of your photo ID when voting and not a photocopy.
What if I don’t have an accepted form of photo ID?
If you don’t already have an accepted form of photo ID, or you’re not sure whether your photo ID still looks like you, you can apply for a free voter ID document, known as a Voter Authority Certificate.
You need to be registered to vote before you apply for a Voter Authority Certificate. If you are not registered to vote already, you can register online. The deadline to register to vote for the elections taking place on Thursday 2 May 2024 is 11:59pm on Tuesday 16 April 2024.
You can apply for a Voter Authority Certificate online.
Alternatively, you can complete a paper application form and send this to the Electoral Services Team. If you need any help applying for a Voter Authority Certificate or want to request an application form, contact the Electoral Services Team by emailing
The deadline to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate for use at the elections taking place on 2 May 2024 is 5pm on Wednesday 24 April 2024, but you should apply as soon as possible in case we need to check any details with you.
What information do I need to give when I apply for a Voter Authority Certificate?
When applying for a Voter Authority Certificate, you will need to provide your:
- Name
- Address
- Date of birth
- National Insurance number
If you don’t know your National Insurance number, or don’t have one, you can still apply. However, we will contact you to request alternative proof of your identity.
You will also need to submit a passport type photograph with your application.
What will happen at the polling station?
When you arrive at the polling station, a member of staff will
- Ask you for your name and address so they can find you on the Register of Electors
- Ask for your photo ID or Voter Authority Certificate and check it is acceptable
- If your ID is acceptable, they will give you your ballot paper(s) and direct you to vote in a polling booth as usual
A private area will be available at the polling station, so you can choose to have your photo ID viewed in private if you like. This might be a separate room, or an area separated by a privacy screen, depending on the polling station.
Staff at the Polling Station are there to help. If you need assistance at any point, just ask.
