Voters must bring a correct form of photo ID when you go to your polling station. Without it you won’t be able to vote. This includes a UK or Irish passport, a UK, Irish or EEA driving licence, a Translink Senior Smartpass or an Electoral Identity Card.
The identification does not need to be ‘current’ but the presiding officer must be satisfied that the photograph matches that of the person intending to vote.
At the polling station, take the ballot paper to a booth and mark an X beside the name of the candidate you wish to vote for.
Then, fold your ballot paper and place it in the ballot box.
