July the 4th... Today's the Day!

So, today is the day to chose the British Government for the next 5 years. Remember that you now need to take photo ID with you if you want to vote today. If you turn up at the polling booth without photo ID, you will not 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.

The ID policy was introduced last year, 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. Best of luck folks! X
