How to vote

Polling stations are open from 7am to 10pm on polling day, and are usually public buildings like schools or local halls.

Find your local polling station

You can take your polling card with you to show who you are, but you don’t have to.

Give your name and address to the staff inside the polling station when you arrive.

You’ll be given a ballot paper containing a list of the people, parties or other options you can vote for.

You can get more information on voting from the central government website.

Postal voting

Anyone can request to vote by post instead of going to a polling station, providing you appear on the electoral register. 

Apply for a postal vote

Proxy voting

A proxy vote means that you appoint someone to vote on your behalf if you are unable to get to the polling station on Election Day.

To vote by proxy, you’ll need to be registered to vote and will need to complete the correct form for your circumstances.
