Voting in person

• How do I find out where my polling station is?

  Your polling station's location will be on the poll card that will be delivered to you before polling day. Alternatively, contact your local elections office to find out.

• I will be overseas temporarily on the day of the elections. How can I vote?

  If you are overseas on election day, you can apply to vote either by post or by proxy (to have someone else vote for you). You can find out more by visiting our how to vote page.

• How do I fill in the ballot paper?

  This information will be provided by the polling clerk at your polling station.
  If you opted to vote by post, your local electoral registration office will provide this information in your ballot pack.

• What are polling hours for the next elections?

  Polling hours are between 7am – 10pm for local elections. Make sure you look at your poll card (delivered to you before the election) to check that these times have not changed. You can also call your local electoral registration office to check.

• Why haven't I received my poll card?

  You can still vote even if you do not have a poll card, as long as you are on the electoral register. You should check with your local electoral registration office whether you are on the electoral register and report the fact that you have not received your poll card.

• Can I get help or a lift to the polling station?

  If you are disabled and need help getting to the polling station, contact your local elections office to find out what help is available. You can also ask to have a companion with you when you vote.
