Voting and elections

We run all local, regional and national elections that take place in the district. We also maintain the electoral register. We seek to manage these in a transparent, accountable and innovative way. Our aim is to make sure that local people are fully able to exercise their right to vote and to influence decisions that affect their lives.

Your vote matters – don’t lose it. To be able to vote at an election you need to be registered to vote. 

Can’t get to your polling station? You can apply to vote by post.

Household Voter Registration Canvass

We're contacting residents by email and post to check the details on the electoral register are correct. 

Postal Vote Reapplication Process

If you vote by post and you made your current application before 31 October 2023, you need to reapply for your postal vote by 31 January 2026. 

Voter ID

Voters in England need to show photo ID to vote at polling stations in most elections.
