Voting at polling stations is changing. You will need to take photo identification with you.
If you don’t have an accepted form of photo you can apply for a free voter ID document, known as a Voter Authority Certificate. Click here to apply for an ID document.
You also don’t need a photo id if you have a postal vote. Click here to download the postal vote form and then either email the signed form to absent.votes@rbwm.gov.uk or post it to:
