It is the first time photo ID will be required at a general election and the The Electoral Commission is reminding voters of what they will have to show to receive their ballot paper. "Before heading to the polling station, check to make sure that you have the ID you need to vote. “If you don’t remember your ID when you arrive at a polling station, you can return with it later in the day." Postal votes must be returned to a polling station or council offices by 10pm. For those who lose their ID, or whose Voter Authority Certificate fails to arrive in time, an emergency proxy can be appointed until 5pm on election day.
