It's not long to go until votes are cast in this year's local elections. A new change introduced means people heading to polling stations to vote must have a valid form of photo ID on them.
When turning up, you’ll be asked for your name and address, as it appears on the electoral register, and you must prove who you are by showing acceptable photo ID. This could include your passport, driving licence, or blue badge among other forms of ID.
It does not matter if your ID is out of date - as long as the photo still looks like you and the name is the same as the one on the electoral register. If this isn't the case, you may not be allowed to use the ID to vote.

If the details on your ID are wrong, or if you've lost it, there is a way you can still vote. The Electoral Commission has said people can apply for an emergency proxy vote until 5pm on polling day, Thursday May 4.
This means someone else will vote on your behalf. However, your proxy will need to show their own ID to cast your vote.
To do this, simply download and complete the application form, giving the reason why you can't get to your polling station in person. Your photo ID being lost, stolen, destroyed, or damaged is now an acceptable reason.
People can also apply for an emergency proxy vote if you have a medical emergency or are away for work.
Once complete, the application should be handed in to the electoral services at your local council. You can also contact them for any assistance required with the form.
