Voting and elections

Don't forget to cast your vote to have your voice heard in this May's elections. Polling stations across the district opened today at 7am (Thursday 1 May) and close at 10pm. If you are registered to vote you will have received a polling card through your door (of your registered address) a few weeks ago. This will show you where to go to vote.

Don't forget to bring your ID to vote - find out more.

If you have lost your poll card, find out where to vote.
