Reminder: Photo ID needed for tomorrow's local elections
Voters are being reminded that photo ID is needed to be able to vote in tomorrow's local elections.
Accepted ID includes driving licences, blue badges, NUS Totum cards and Freedom passes, and Voter Authority Certificates.
Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove said: "If you’re planning to vote in person at your local elections, you must remember to bring accepted photo identification with you to the polling station.
"These changes will prevent electoral fraud and ensure elections remain free and fair.
You can use a wide range of photo identification such as a driving licence, but make sure you check eligibility before heading out to vote."
