Alternative original text... To vote, you need to be on the Electoral Roll. If you feel you might not be able to attend your Polling Station on the day of the election you can apply for a postal vote. You will then be sent a postal vote to your registered address for each election. You can post your completed vote to the election office and it will be counted on polling day. You will not need a Photo ID or passport or driving licence or Proof of Age Standards Scheme (PASS) card or alternative acceptable photo ID which you would otherwise need to show at the polling station before voting. You can protect your privacy by asking for your entry on the Electoral Roll to be excluded from any copy available to the public or to companies buying access for advertising. Please email us if you need further advice. You cannot vote if you don't apply to your Local Electoral Office before the election. Applying in good time helps prevent a last minute rush!
