Voting on Thursday, 2nd May.
Remember your photo ID!!
Also, be aware of recent changes to postal vote processes.
The Police and Crime Commissioner Election takes place on 2 May, with the polls open from 7am-10pm. The votes will be counted, and the result declared, on Saturday 4 May.
If people are not able to put their postal vote in the post, they can only hand in postal votes at County Hall reception in Trowbridge by completing a form provided on arrival. People should not post postal votes directly in the post boxes at the council’s three main offices (County Hall, Monkton Park and Bourne Hill) as they will be rejected.
Alternatively, on polling day people can hand postal votes in at the polling station. People can only hand in a maximum of five postal votes and their own (six in total).
For those voting in one of Wiltshire’s 352 polling stations, photographic identification is now a mandatory requirement. Accepted forms of photo ID include passports, photographic driving licences, biometric immigration documents, and certain concessionary travel passes. A comprehensive list can be found at www.electoralcommission.org.uk/voting-and-elections/voter-id.
Alternatively, if people have a Voter Authority Certificate, because they don’t have photo ID, they should bring that along to vote.
The deadline to register to vote or apply for a postal vote for the Police and Crime Commissioner has now passed.
