Voters in England will now need to show photo ID to vote at a polling station in some elections.
If you do not have a driver’s licence, passport or photographic travel pass, you will need to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate (VAC) to vote in person.
VACs are a new form of photo identification for use when voting at a polling station in the UK Parliamentary, Police and Crime Commissioner, and English local elections.
They are designed for people who do not have another form of photo ID that is accepted at the polls.
VAC application forms are available HERE. It is free, but you will need a recent, digital photo of yourself and your National Insurance number.
The deadline to apply for a VAC in time for the local elections on Thursday 4 May is 5 pm on Tuesday 25 April.
The polling station in Reepham is the Bircham Centre, Market Place.
Alternatively, you may wish to apply for a postal vote, which does not require a photograph. Postal vote application forms can be found HERE.
