The deadline to register to vote in any local elections taking place in Somerset on 4 May 2023 is 11:59 pm on Monday 17 April.

It’s quick and easy to register to vote online.

Don’t forget: from 4 May 2023 you’ll need to take photo ID with you if you want to vote in any election or referendum.

If you don’t have photo ID you can apply for a Voter Authority Certificate. Alternatively, you can apply to vote by post if that’s easier. You don’t need photo ID to do this.

You can find out more about local democracy on the new Somerset Council’s website including contact details for your Parish Councillors and County Councillors.
