Registering to vote and voting by post or proxy
The deadline to register to vote in this election is Monday 20 April 2026. Poll cards will be sent to electors at the end of March. If you receive a poll card, this means you are registered and do not need to re-register.
If you are not registered, or you have recently changed your name, address or nationality, you can do this online on the GOV.UK website.
At these elections, you will need to provide photographic identification before you can vote at a polling station. Read our Voter ID page to find out what ID is acceptable. If you do not have one of the required forms of ID, you can apply for a free Voter Authority Certificate. The deadline to apply is 5pm, Tuesday 28 April 2026.
If you are unable to vote in person, you can apply to vote by post or appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf.
If you wish to apply for a postal vote, please note that we must receive your application by 5pm, Tuesday 21 April 2026. You do not need photo ID to vote by post. You can apply online and you will need your National Insurance Number.
If you wish to appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf, they will need to go to your polling station and have their own photo ID to vote on your behalf. The deadline for proxy applications is 5pm, Tuesday 28 April 2026. You can apply online.
The count will take place on Friday, 8 May 2026 and results will be displayed on the council’s website as and when they are declared.
