While poll cards are not needed, this year, those who are eligible and wish to vote in person at a polling station will need to show an accepted form of photo ID before being issued with a ballot paper.

A list of acceptable photo identification can include:

•UK, European Economic Area (EEA) or Commonwealth passport; UK or EEA photo driving licence; An older person’s bus pass or a disabled person’s bus pass, Blue badge.

The full list of approved photo identification can be found on the Electoral Commission website www.electoralcommission.org.uk/voterI
