Voter ID
Voters must show photo identification (ID) when voting at a polling station.
You do not need ID if you are voting by post
Which forms of ID can I use to vote at a polling station?
You may already have photo ID that is acceptable.
For a full list of the ID you can use see the Electoral Comission Accepted forms of photo ID
Expired photo ID is accepted as long as the photo is recognisable.
If you do not have photo ID you can apply for photo ID to vote (called a 'Voter Authority Certificate').
The deadline to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate in the next election is 5pm Wednesday 24 April.
