Planning on Voting

The election of a new Police Fire and Crime Commissioner (PFCC) for Northamptonshire takes place on Thursday 2 May 2024.  

This is the first countywide election where voters will be required to show photo identification when voting at a polling station.  

You can use a passport, photo driving licence and certain other forms of ID (see www.electoralcommission.org.uk/voterID for full details).  

If a voter does not have any of the acceptable forms of Voter ID they can apply for a free Voter Authority Certificate (VAC).  

The deadline to apply for a VAC for the elections on 2 May is 1700 on Wednesday 24 April 2024 (see link above).  

Please make sure the message about Voter ID gets out far and wide within your community.
