Voters reminded to bring valid ID on 4 July

Residents in the Forest of Dean constituency will need to show photographic ID to vote in person at the General Election on 4 July 2024.  Andrew Knott, Local Returning Officer for Forest of Dean District Council, said:

“Anyone voting at a polling station in the General Election will need to show photo ID before they can be given their ballot paper. It’s important that everyone understands what types of ID they can use, and how to apply for free ID if they need it.  

“There are only a couple of days left to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate and I would encourage everyone to check they have valid ID. If you need any help with applying for the free ID, or want to request an application form, please contact us. 

“I would also ask people to check in with elderly neighbours, friends and family to make sure they understand the new ID requirements and have ID in place.” 

More information is available on the Forest of Dean District Council website, including details of how to apply for the free ID. Anyone not able to visit the council website, or apply for a Voter Authority Certificate online, is being encouraged to contact the Council by 01594 812638.
