For the first time you will need to show photo ID to be able to vote in the Wychavon District Council and parish and town council elections which are being held on 4th May 2023. This follows a change in the law introduced by the UK government. If you do not bring photo ID with you to the polling station and produce it when asked, then you will not be able to cast your vote.
Many people will be able to produce either a driver’s licence or passport to satisfy this new requirement, but anyone in any doubt about which other documents will be acceptable should consult the comprehensive guide produced by Wychavon District Council available to download at:
