Tomorrow elections are held to vote for representatives on West Berkshire Council, and some town and parish councils. In this bulletin you will find information to help you vote tomorrow and to follow results as they are declared on Friday.
You can find a list of candidates in each ward online.
Voting in person
Polling stations are open tomorrow from 7am to 10pm. You can find your ward and the location of your polling station on your ballot card, and you can also check by searching using your postcode on our website.
Please remember that to vote in person you will need to bring photo ID with you. You can check yours against a list of accepted forms of Voter ID on the Electoral Commission website.
If your circumstances have changed and you can no longer vote in person you can apply to vote by emergency proxy (asking someone to vote on your behalf).
Voting by proxy
You may already have requested to vote by proxy but it's also possible in certain situations to request an emergency proxy vote until 5pm tomorrow. This is available if
- you cannot vote in person because of a medical emergency or disability
- you cannot vote in person because of your employment
- the photo ID you were planning on using to vote has been lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed
- you’ve not yet received a new or replacement photo ID you’ve ordered
If you’re applying for an emergency proxy vote because of a medical emergency, disability or your employment, your application form must be signed by an ‘appropriate person’.
Find out more and apply for an emergency proxy vote.
Voting by post
If you opted for a postal vote it's probably in the post back to us by now.
Don't worry if you still have your postal vote because you can take it to your local polling station or our Market Street office in Newbury. Postal votes need to be with us by 10pm tomorrow (when polls close) to be counted.
If you have lost or spoilt your postal vote you can apply for a replacement before 5pm tomorrow. To do this, please contact our Elections team.
