People planning to vote in person at a polling station must provide photo ID – this can include a passport, driving licence or older person’s bus pass. The full list of acceptable ID can be found on the Electoral Commission website. You can still use your photo ID if it is out of date, if it is still a good likeness of you. The name on your ID should be the same name you used to register to vote.
Those without the necessary ID can apply for the free Voter Authority Certificate – the deadline is 5pm on Wednesday 5 March 2025. Applications can be made online, by post, or in person. Help and advice is available from the East Devon Elections Team on 01395 517402.
