Polling stations are open from 7.00am until 10.00pm on Thursday.
When you go to the polling station, please help keep everyone safe - remember hands, face, space. Bring your own pen or pencil to vote.
To help with social distancing in polling stations you may have to queue outside. Remember to keep a safe space apart and dress for the weather.
You don't need to take your poll card, but this may make your visit quicker. Polling staff won't touch your card and you'll need to take it back home with you.
Remember to take a:
- Face covering
- Pen or pencil

Details about where you should vote will be on your poll card or you can find your polling station here.

Polling station
This is a reminder that voters in some parts of Sheffield will have received new poll cards to let them know that their polling station has changed.
We changed a small number of polling stations 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)
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.
You don't need your poll card to vote, but it may make your visit quicker.
