Voter ID

Electoral Commission Announcement

On Thursday 4 May 2023, local elections are taking place within all parts of Lincolnshire.

To vote at a polling station, you will need photo ID with you. A wide range of photo ID will be accepted, including passports, driving licences, bus passes and cards with a PASS Mark.

If you don’t have what’s needed, you can apply for a free voter ID document known as a Voter Authority Certificate.

Visit electoralcommission.org.uk/voterID, call 0800 328 0280, including:
The full list of accepted forms of photo ID.
How to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate (if you need one).
How to register to vote and how to apply for a postal vote.

There are elections in all parts of Lincolnshire on 4 May 2023.
While the need for Voter ID applies in exactly the same way across all areas, you may also want to check out the website of – or get in touch with – your local District, Borough or City council for local information relating to the specifics of elections in your area.
