Local Elections - Let's Get Voting

It’s time to vote in the local elections. For those of you who have not done it before here are some guidelines

When you get to the polling station

Give your name and address to the staff inside the polling station when you arrive. You don’t have to take your poll card with you.

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

Filling in your ballot paper

Take your ballot paper into a polling booth.

Follow the instructions on the notices in the polling booth and on the top of the ballot paper to vote.

Put it in the ballot box.

Voting if you’re disabled

If you’re disabled, your local Electoral Registration Office can tell you about:

physical access, eg wheelchair ramps and disabled parking spaces

low-level polling booths

equipment for voters with a visual impairment

Every polling station must provide at least one large print display version of the ballot paper and a special device so that blind and visually impaired people can vote.
