Residents will be heading to the polls on Thursday 2nd May to take part in the Combined County Mayoral Authority and Police and Crime Commissioner elections.
At these elections, you’ll need to bring photo ID to be able to vote at a polling station.
You only need to show one form of photo ID, but it needs to be the original version and not a photocopy.
Residents can use any of the following accepted forms of photo ID to be able to vote at a polling station:
- Passport
- Driving licence (including a provisional licence)
- Blue badge
- Certain concessionary travel cards
- Identity card with PASS mark (Proof of Age Standards Scheme)
- Biometric Immigration document
- Defence identity card
- Certain national identity cards.
If your accepted photo ID is out of date, you can use it to vote at a polling station if it still looks like you.
