We have sent out the first batch of poll cards to voters today (6 June). If you have registered to vote in the last week, your poll card will be sent in the next batch of poll cards.
Your poll card will tell you where your designated polling station is.

If you have a postal poll card, please check the ballot paper address to make sure this is correct.

This follows the UK’s departure from the European Union and has been introduced as part of the Elections Act.
Letters are being issued to all EU citizens in the district to either:
- let them know they are still eligible to vote in local elections
- tell them they aren’t sure if they are eligible to vote in local elections, and ask them to provide information that will be used to confirm whether they are eligible
