With elections coming up this Thursday 2 May, this is a reminder that to vote in England you now need to show photo ID at the polling station. There is a list of the accepted forms of photo ID on the Electoral Commission website. You will only need to show one form of photo ID, but it needs to be the original version and not a photocopy. These elections are for the Police and Crime Commissioner for the Northumbria police area, and for the Mayor for the North East Mayoral Combined Authority. There is information about both on the Northumberland County Council website, with links to other websites for further details.
