Voting in person
You can vote in person at your local poll station

What to do when you get to the polling station
Put simply, you report on arrival to the staff at the station, you will be asked to confirm your name and address as per your poll card. The staff will check your entitlement to vote and then ask to see your photo identity. If they are happy with your identity shown they will then give you a ballot paper(s), and mark you off on their register. You take it to one of the voting booths and mark it in secret. You then put it in the ballot box at the station and leave. That's all there is to it!
If you have any special requirements to help you to vote at a station, please be aware we do take some measures to help anyone with any form of disability.
If you lose your poll card, or one fails to be delivered for any reason, that's not a problem. You don't need it to vote so long as you are registered. Just go to your polling station and give your address. The staff will check you are registered and, if so, issue you with your vote.
Staff have been trained on the processes and follow guidance from the Electoral Commission as set out in their polling station manual (PDF) [5MB] , as supplied by the Returning Officer.
