Jane Johnson (books)From 4 May, you’ll need photo ID to vote at polling stations in England and Wales. If you know anyone who may not have photo ID (driving licence, passport) tell them they can get a free ID card - here with the code code FREEVOTERID.
Please boost to stop the Tories damaging our democracy and disenfranchising the young and marginalised!

Abuela 🪁@JaneJohnsonBakr Is postal voting still an option?
@maryeffrancis Yes, it is.
Tim J@JaneJohnsonBakr @maryeffrancis Just adding that a postal vote can be handed in at the polling station on the day (I did that regularly with my mother's). So it doesn't necessarily need either posting, or filling in before election day.
@timtfj @JaneJohnsonBakr Oresumably without showing ID?
@maryeffrancis @JaneJohnsonBakr Yes, you're basically just delivering a letter by hand instead of through the post. There's an inner envelope with the ballot paper in, and a separate declaration confirming the voter's ID, all in the return envelope. You just treat it as if you were posting it, then take it to the polling station instead of to a pillarbox.
