Because of COVID-19, there will be safety measures in place at polling stations to help you vote safely (for example, a one-way system or restrictions on the number of people allowed in).
If you choose to vote in person, make sure you:
- wear a face covering (unless you’re exempt)
- bring your own pen or pencil (there will be clean pencils available at the polling station if you forget to bring your own)
- use the hand sanitiser provided when entering and leaving the polling station
- keep to social distancing guidelines
If you have COVID-19 symptoms this morning or have been asked to self-isolate:
Do not visit the polling station. Apply for an emergency proxy vote instead. Your proxy can also apply if they develop symptoms.
You can apply until 5pm today (6 May).
