Don’t miss out on casting your vote at upcoming local elections
With local elections due to take place on 4 May 2023 make sure that you’re able to cast your vote at the ballot box by bringing along a suitable form of photographic ID.
A wide range of photo ID will be accepted including passports, driving licences and cards with a PASS mark. A list of accepted forms of identification can be found at www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/voter-id
If you don’t have any of the accepted ID, you can apply for a free voter ID document known as a Voter Authority Certificate (VAC).
If you prefer not to vote in person, postal voting is an option. Postal voting allows eligible voters to cast their ballots by mail, without the need for in-person voter ID. Find out how to apply for a postal vote at www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/postal-vote
Whether voting in person or by post, first make sure that you’re registered to vote at www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/register-to-vote
