For the first time at a General Election, every single voter will need to show Photo ID at the polling station on election day. Only certain types of ID are accepted, you can find all the information you need to check here: https://www.gov.uk/how-to-vote/photo-id-youll-need.

If someone does not have one of the accepted forms of Photo ID there is still time for them to apply for a free Voter Authority Certificate - up until the deadline of 5pm on Wednesday 26th June: https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-voter-authority-certificate. If they miss this deadline, and don’t already have an accepted form of Photo ID, they will not be allowed to vote on polling day, even if they have registered to vote.

There is still time..this we’re joining
and others across education, faith, community & business as to help make sure people have their say in the General Election.
Voting matters.
