Polling station
Voters in some parts of Sheffield will be receiving new polling cards to let them know that their polling station has changed.
As part of our preparation for the elections on 6 May, we have undertaken detailed work to make sure that all polling stations are suitable, accessible for all, and Covid-19 safe. We changed a small number of polling stations as a result of this work to ensure that they are accessible for all voters:
- Polling District PB in Graves Park ward will now vote at Graves Park Bowling Pavilion off Charles Ashmore Road (previously Painted Fabrics)
- Polling District EE in Broomhill and Sharrow Vale ward will now vote at Crookesmoor Training Centre on Crookesmoor Road (previously Hallam Tiles)
- Polling District ZH in Walkley ward will now vote at Ebenezer Methodist Hall on Greenhow Street (previously Walkley Library)
Voters in these areas will receive a new poll card with details of the new polling stations. No other polling station changes are planned. The polling station finder on the council’s website has been updated to show the changes. Find your polling station here or click below.

The deadline to apply for an ordinary proxy vote has now passed, but you may be able to apply for an emergency proxy if you meet one of the following three reasons:
- You have a medical emergency that you weren’t aware of before 27 April 2021
- You are away from home because of work and you weren’t aware of this before 27 April 2021
- You are self-isolating because of Covid-19 (this might be because of a positive test result, because you have Covid-19 symptoms, you are quarantining following an overseas visit, or because you have been told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace)
