Voter Photo ID required from 4 May 2023
From 4 May 2023 onwards, all voters are required to show photographic identification (photo ID) at polling stations before they are given a ballot paper.
This means at this year’s local elections, you will need photo ID in order to cast your ballot.
You are not required to provide photo ID for postal voting.
Anyone without the correct ID can apply for free ID. You will need to do so before 25 April, 2023.
