Independence Day 4th July 2024 - OK, General Election Day!!

You don't need to take your poll card with you to the polling station, but you do need to take photo ID if you want to vote at the general election tomorrow, the 4th of July 2024. If you turn up at the polling booth without photo ID, you won't be allowed to vote. Acceptable photo ID includes an original (not photocopied) Passport, Driving Licence, Older or Disabled Persons' Bus Pass, Freedom Pass, other Concessionary Travel Cards and SmartPasses, PASS Card, and EEA ID cards. For full details of acceptable photo ID go to the Electoral Commission website. This policy was introduced last year to deter some from voting. If you want further details, and of how it went for elections last year and by-elections, go to this Parliamentary Research Briefing. For further details go to the Electoral Commission website. 👍 Don't lose your right to vote and don't forget people lost their lives fighting for your rights! Oh yes, and what a waste of taxpayers' money, the Government should have had the General Election on the same day as the local elections, just one day's costs not 2 in a year, oh well...😒
