You will be sent a poll card just before an election or referendum telling you when to vote and at which polling station.

You can find where your polling station is by using wheredoivote.co.uk. 

Opening times

Polling stations are open from 7am to 10pm on the day of an election (‘polling day’). There is no closure for lunch.

Voting if you have a disability

We offer a range of support to disabled voters, including voters with a learning disability

Different languages

Ballot papers can't be printed in languages other than English.

Giving information to tellers

Tellers outside polling stations work for political parties and candidates. They might ask you for some information, like your electoral number. You don't have to give them the information they ask for, but you can if you want to.
