How to Vote
Once you're registered, you have three different ways to vote:
In-person
You can vote in person at your local polling station. This is often a nearby community centre or other public building in your area.
Under Covid-19 restrictions, voting in-person will look different from normal, and current Public Health guidance must be followed.
Voters can expect to see protective measures like hand sanitiser, screens, distance markings, protective barriers and social distancing inside and outside polling stations.
All voters and staff should wear a face covering and voters will be encouraged to bring their own pen or pencil to mark their ballot papers, although fresh clean pencils will still be available for all.
Anyone who feels comfortable going to a supermarket or a post office can feel confident attending a polling station in May. A member of staff will also always be available to help you if you are not sure what to do.
