Voting in person

Polling stations will be open from 7am to 10pm. If there’s a queue, you’ll still be able vote as long as you joined it before 10pm.

Due to COVID-19, there will be safety measures in place at polling stations, to help you stay safe.

Social distancing measures will be in place, and there may be a limit on how many people are allowed inside the polling station.

When you go inside, you will be expected to wear a face covering like you do when you go into shops or on public transport.

You should sanitise your hands when you go into the polling station and when you leave. Hand sanitiser will be available on entry and exit.

The polling station staff may be behind protective screens, like staff in shops, but you’ll still be able to ask them for help if you need it.

Polling station staff will be cleaning regularly, so you might need to wait for a polling booth to be cleaned before you can use it.

You’re welcome to take your own pencil or pen with you if you’d like to. Clean pencils will be available for each voter.

Where possible, polling stations will have a one-way system, so be prepared to follow the signage and any instructions.

Emergency proxy votes

If you were planning to vote in person or are someone’s proxy, but find you can’t go to the polling station for reasons related to COVID-19, you’ll be able to apply for an emergency proxy vote up until 5pm on polling day.
