Safety precautions at polling stations for 6 May 2021
This year, for the safety of voters and polling officials the voting experience will be a little different:
- You will need to wear a face covering
- There may be a one way system in your station
- You may experience a small queue
- You may want to bring your own pen or pencil to mark your ballot paper - though the usual pencil will be provided if you don't
- If you do not already have one, and have any concerns or problem with attending in person, apply for a postal vote NOW
