How to vote

There are three ways to cast your vote on polling day. It is a good idea to think about which method works best for you well in advance, so you have plenty of time to apply if you need to:

  • You can vote in person in the polling station. Remember that all voters in the polling station will need to show photographic ID before voting. You can find more information about acceptable ID and how to vote in person here: voting at the polling station
  • The deadline to apply to fill in your ballot paper in advance and send it to us in the post has now passed. The deadline to apply was 5pm on Monday 14 April 2025
  • You can apply to vote by proxy, which is when someone you trust goes to your polling station and fills in your ballot paper for you. You can find out more information about how to apply here: voting by proxy. The deadline to apply is 5pm on Wednesday 23 April 2025
