Key dates

Voting in the election

You must be on the electoral register to vote at this election. You can register to vote until 11:50pm on Tuesday 16 April 2024.

If you cannot attend your polling station, you can apply to vote by post before 5pm Wednesday 17 April 2024. Alternatively you may choose to appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf, which you can do until 5pm Wednesday 24 April 2024. Please visit our Postal voting and Proxy voting pages to apply online or for more information.

Your poll card will give details of your polling station, or you can find your polling station by entering your postcode on the Where Do I vote website.

You will need to show photographic ID to vote in the polling station. Find out what ID you can use, or how to get an accepted form of ID on our Voter ID page.
