Electors in areas with no scheduled elections – or where the scheduled elections have been confirmed as uncontested – will not need to attend polling stations in 4 May, even if they have received a poll card in the post. Postal voters in areas without an election will not receive a ballot pack.

How do I vote?

To vote on May 4, residents must be on the electoral register and people are urged to make sure they are registered to vote. Register online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote

What do I need to vote?

The Government has introduced a requirement for voters to show photo ID when voting at a polling station at elections.

This new requirement will apply for the first time at the local elections on May 4.

That means voters will need to show photo ID to be allowed to vote at polling stations at any parish or town council elections, or the Westmorland and Furness Council by-election, in May.

From October 2023 this requirement for voters to show photo ID will also apply to General Elections.

What photo ID is accepted?

Accepted forms of photo ID include:

  • UK, European Economic Area (EEA) or Commonwealth passport;
  • UK or EEA drivers’ licence
  • Some concessionary travel passes, such as an older person’s bus pass.

Voters will be able to use expired ID if they are still recognisable from the photo.

What if I don’t have photo ID?

If you don’t already have any of the accepted forms of photo ID listed, you can apply for a free voter ID document, which is known as a Voter Authority Certificate.

Applicants must be registered to vote and will need to provide their date of birth, National Insurance number and a photograph.

The deadline to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate for this May’s elections is 5pm on Tuesday, April 25.

You can apply online at www.gov.uk/applyforphotoidtovote

Paper forms are available from local council offices in Barrow, Kendal and Penrith.

You don’t need photo ID to vote by post, so you don’t need to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate if you choose to vote this way.
