JohnfromUK Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 I had a note from local site that we have local council elections in May - and we will need to show photo ID to vote (in person at the polling station). https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/voter/voter-id I had not realised this was happening. Apparently applies to local elections initially and general elections later in the year (October). Link above has the details. Therefore, if your area has local council elections in May and you intend to vote in person, remember your photo ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as the mad 'mercan idea that DJT lost due to rigged voting, a certain member couldn't understand that if one side could do it then both (all) sides could.

sportsbob Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I've just read the info in the link regarding Photo ID and came across this which seems a little strange to me. Showing ID as an anonymous elector If you're registered to vote anonymously and want to vote in person, you'll need to apply for an Anonymous Elector's Document. Find out more about registering to vote anonymously and how to vote anonymously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted May 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 Cast my vote this morning - and quite correctly my photo ID was requested, and checked that it 'was me', so all seems good. I noted that we only have 3 candidates, Conservative, Green and LibDem. In the past it has always been a two horse race with LibDem always coming a plausible second and any others only getting a small handful of votes.
