Local borough, parish and town council elections are taking place across England on Thursday the 4th of May 2023.
New voter ID requirement
New government legislation means voters in England will need to bring an accepted photo ID to vote at a polling station.
If you don't have an accepted photo ID, you can apply for a free voter ID document, which is known as a Voter Authority Certificate.
