Less than 1 week to go until the General Election

Here are some helpful reminders as we approach the last week before the General Election next Thursday, July 4th.

Please make sure that you take an original, approved form of photo identification (ID) with you when you vote.

Your closest polling station will be shown on your polling card. You do not need your polling card to vote.

Polling stations are open from 7am until 10pm. You will still be able to vote as long as you are in the queue by 10pm.

Check if your photo ID is on the approved list.
