polling cards - never arrived? do we need?

[bonnie1981]

We have not received any polling cards so will we be able to vote tomorrow? We got polling cards for the UK election last year and the referendum but nothing for tomorrow. Worried now that I won't be able to vote. Any advice?

You don't need cards to vote. As long as you are registered just turn up.

As long as you are registered, you don't need polling cards.

www.saa.gov.uk/central/centralerofaqsvoting.html#question8 - says you can still vote as long as you are on the electoral register.

I definitely am. Strange we never got any cards though. Will I need to take ID?

This happened to us last year. I took our passports and council tax bill but no one asked to see them, we just gave our name and address.

If you're concerned, ring up your local office to check whether you're on the register. You can't check on-line, you can only do it over the phone.

I take my polling card every time and never been asked so as long as you are registered you won't need it.

I am working in a polling station and I can confirm no polling cards required, and no ID required. You just rock up and confirm your name and address when we ask you and if you are on the list of voters, you get to vote. If we suspect you're not who you say you are, we have a process to go through but I've never had to do it yet!

You don't need your card, as dd said this morning, she could have been anyone.
