How to vote: Voting in person - GOV.UK
An overview of voting in the UK, including voting in person, postal and proxy voting, and voting if you're abroad.
www.gov.ukYou usually don’t need your polling card to vote—you can generally vote as long as you’re registered and can prove your identity/address if required by the rules where you’re voting.[1][8]
UK (and polling cards / “poll cards”)
- You can vote without your poll card: if you’ve registered, you can still vote at the polling station by confirming your name and address (the poll card isn’t required to cast your ballot).[1]
- Your poll card mainly helps you with which station to go to and other details.[1]
- Important: UK elections may require you to bring accepted photo ID (and the poll card is not accepted as photo ID).[5]
US (voter registration card)
- If you’re in the US and referring to a voter registration card, you do not need to show your card to vote.[8]
