 Your poll card will have information about voting and will tell you the address of your polling station. Make sure you check the details as your polling station may have changed since the last time you voted. You can also find your polling station by using our online postcode finder.
On Thursday 1st May 2025, polling stations will be open from 7am until 10pm. Remember to bring your photo ID with you.
When you arrive, staff will ask for your name and address, check the electoral register and your photo ID, and, if accepted, issue you with one ballot paper for the Nottinghamshire County Council Elections. Voters in the Beckingham and Sturton Bassetlaw District wards will also be issued with a ballot paper for their respective By-elections.
These Elections are first-past-the-post, so you will have ONE vote on the ballot paper and the candidate who gets the highest number of votes will be declared the winner.
 For elections taking place on 1st May, you will be only able to hand in your own postal vote, and the postal votes of up to five other people, at a polling station or to an authorized member of staff at Queen's Buildings in Worksop or the One Stop Shop at Retford Town Hall.
When handing in postal votes, you will need to complete a form. You will need to include your name and address, how many postal votes you are handing in and why you are handing in those postal votes.
Campaigners can only hand in their own postal vote, and postal votes for up to five other people that are either close relatives, or someone they provide regular care for.
Please do not post any postal votes through the letterboxes at any of the Council offices as they will be rejected.
