Elections results will be published on our Facebook page, as well as the elections webpage.
You will need to show photographic ID to vote.
This is an approved form of photographic ID to prove your identity, such as your passport or driver’s licence. Even if your ID has expired, as long as the photo has a likeness to you it will be accepted on the day.
The ID must be the actual document and not a copy or image on a mobile phone.

If you are eligible to vote in these elections you will have received your poll card containing your voter details, including details of your polling station.
Although this isn’t required for you to vote at your polling station on the day, it may help speed up the process.
Accepted forms of photo voter ID are listed on your poll card.
You need to have been on the electoral register by 20 April.
Information for postal voters
Voters will only be able to hand in their own postal vote, and the postal votes of up to five other people, at a polling station or our council offices – and they will be required to complete a postal vote return form.
Voters should post their postal ballot paper back to us as soon as receive it.

Emergency proxy vote
If you have a medical emergency, are away for work, or your photo ID is lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged, you can apply for an emergency proxy vote (where someone else votes on your behalf). The person appointed as proxy must have their own acceptable photo ID.
If you meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply for an emergency proxy vote up until 5pm on election day.
