Local Elections 2023

 

On Thursday 4 May 2023, local elections are taking place across England. To vote at a polling station, you will need to bring photo ID.

​

Voter ID requirement

 

From 4 May 2023, voters in England will need to show photo ID to vote at polling stations in some elections.

 

This will apply to:

• Local elections

• Police and Crime Commissioner elections

• UK parliamentary by-elections

• Recall petitions

 

From October 2023 it will also apply to UK General elections.

 

If you don't have accepted photo ID, you can apply for a free voter ID document, which is known as a Voter Authority Certificate.

Find out more about accepted forms of photo ID, how to apply for a free Voter Authority Certificate, and what to expect on polling day on the Electoral Commission website.
