Details of your polling station are included on your poll card or can be found on the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland website.
Don't forget your photo ID
When you go to your polling station on election day don't forget to bring a correct form of photo ID. Without it you won't be able to vote!
The following forms of ID can be accepted at the polling station:
- A UK or Irish passport
- A UK, Irish or EEA driving licence
- A Translink Senior Smartpass
- A Translink 60+ Smartpass
- A Translink War Disabled Smartpass
- A Translink Blind Person's Smartpass
- An Electoral Identity Card
The identification does not need to be 'current' but the presiding officer at the polling station mist be satisfied that the photograph matches that of the person intending to vote.
No other form of photo ID can be accepted at the polling station. This includes ID such as work passes or parking blue badges.
