Elections 2024: What to do if you've lost your poll card and don't know your polling station

Lost your poll card? Don’t worry: you don’t need to bring it with you to vote.

You can also find all of the information it contains online.

Most importantly, it’ll tell you which polling station you need to vote at.

You can find this information via Peterborough City Council’s interactive map.

Once you’ve opened the map, uncheck all of the boxes under ‘layer list’ except for ‘council boundaries’.

Then open that dropdown with the arrow next to it and select ‘polling stations’.

If you search for your address using the box at the top of the map, it’ll then show you where your polling station is with a red dot.

Some polling stations, such as in Park and Gunthorpe, are different from last year.

Other information on your poll card includes hours in which you can vote (7am to 10pm today) and who to contact in case of last minute emergencies.

This is the council's electoral services, on 01733 452249 or [email protected].

It also lays out accepted forms of voter ID.

This must include a recognisable photo of you and have your current name on it, although it can be out of date, e.g. an expired passport.

It must, however, be an original document and not a photocopy.

You must bring one of these with you to vote (via the Electoral Commission):
