Check photo ID before the 2024 election
Voters in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area are reminded that they must show an accepted form of photo identification for the next election.
Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner elections will take place in May.
A UK general election must also take place before 28 January 2025 and can be called at short notice.
Voters will need to bring a valid form of photo ID to vote in both elections.
This requirement to show photo ID at the polling station was introduced under the UK Government's Electoral Act and was in place during Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) local elections last year.
With voter turnout for general elections expected to be higher than for local elections, the BCP Council is asking residents to make sure they are ready to vote by checking now for an accepted form of ID. Accepted forms of ID include a UK, European Economic Area (EEA) or Commonwealth passport; UK, EEA or Commonwealth driving licence; and some concessionary travel passes, such as a senior's bus pass.
Voters will be able to use the expired ID if they can still be identified by the photo.
If voters have not received photo ID, they can apply now for a free identification document known as a 'Certificate of Voter Authority'.
Graham Farrant, Returning Officer at the PKK Council said:
“The next 12 months will see two very important elections that offer our residents the opportunity to have their democratic say.
“The implementation of voter ID in last year's local elections was a challenge that our residents rose to, with only 0.1% of people wanting to vote in the BCP on the day they discovered they did not have the correct ID for to do this.
“However, we will have two elections within the next 12 months, including a general election and many young voters turning 18 from May 2023.
“It is important that those who want to vote make sure they have an accepted ID. It may seem early, but checking now means you'll be ready to vote in May and prepared for whenever the general election is called.”
Anyone who wants to have a say in the election – or wants to apply for an Electoral Authority Certificate – must also register to vote by Tuesday 16 April 2024.
Residents can check if they are already on the electoral register by calling 01202 123400 or emailing [email protected] and find out more information about BCP Council elections at: bcpcouncil.gov.uk/councillors- committees-and-elections/elections-and-voting

Residents will not need to provide photo ID to vote by mail. To apply for a postal vote, applications must reach the council by 5pm on Wednesday 17 April 2024.
