Central Bedfordshire Council is reminding residents that, following a change in government legislation, voter ID will be mandatory at polling stations. Acceptable forms of ID include a government-issued ID, such as: a driving license, passport, as well as travel passes and proof of age ID cards. A comprehensive list of acceptable forms of identification can be found on the Council’s website. For anyone that doesn’t have any of these forms of ID, they can apply for a postal vote or the new Voter Authority Certificate. Details of how to do this can be also found on the Council’s website (click on link below).
