When going to vote in person at a polling station, you should bring the following:

• Photo ID : Most elections require you to show a valid form of photo identification to confirm your identity. Acceptable forms include a passport, driving licence, or other government-issued photo ID. The photo ID can be out of date as long as the photo still resembles you. If you do not have photo ID, you may be able to apply for a free voter ID card (such as a Voter Authority Certificate in the UK)

• Poll Card (if you have one) : You will usually receive a poll card before the election with details of when and where to vote. It is not mandatory to bring it, but it can be helpful

• Proof of Address (if required) : In some places, if your photo ID does not have your current address, you may need to bring an additional document showing your address, such as a utility bill or bank statement, especially if you are voting for the first time

• Know your polling station : Make sure you know the location of your assigned polling station and its opening hours (usually from early morning until late evening)

At the polling station, you will give your name and address to the staff, show your photo ID, and receive your ballot paper. Follow the instructions on how to mark your vote in the privacy of the polling booth, then place your ballot paper in the ballot box

. If you have a disability, polling stations often provide accommodations such as wheelchair access and large print ballot papers

. In summary, bring photo ID, your poll card if available, and proof of address if required by your local regulations. Check your local election authority for specific ID requirements to ensure you have the correct documents to vote
