Registering to vote
To vote at this election, you must be registered to vote by Monday 19 April.
If you're already registered to vote, you do not need to register again.
Getting your poll card
Poll cards will be sent to existing electors from 22 March. You do not need your poll card to vote, you just need to give your name to the polling station officers when you go to your polling station, and they will give you your ballot paper.
You do not need to show photo ID at your polling station.
Polling stations
Polling stations are open from 7am to 10pm on polling day.
To find out where your polling station is, visit the Where do I vote website.
How to be a candidate
When considering whether you want to stand as a candidate, we strongly advise you to read the Electoral Commission's guidance for candidates in full.

Nominations for the London Assembly Lambeth and Southwark Constituency Member contest are managed by the Lambeth and Southwark Constituency Returning Officer.
If you'd like to stand as a London Assembly candidate in the Lambeth and Southwark constituency, please contact Lambeth Electoral Services to request a nomination pack.
Voting by post and proxy
If you cannot go to your polling station on Thursday 6 May, you can apply to vote by post. This means your ballot paper will be sent to you by post before polling day.
You can also apply to vote by proxy. This is where someone else votes on your behalf, either at your polling station or by post.
Apply to vote by post or proxy
The dates postal votes will be sent to voters will be confirmed by the Greater London Authority soon.
If you apply for a postal vote by 31 March, it's currently estimated that a postal ballot pack for these elections will be sent to you between 15 and 21 April.
If you apply for a postal vote after 31 March, it's currently estimated that a postal ballot pack will be sent to you by 23 April.
Replacements for lost or spoilt postal ballots
If you're registered to vote by post, but have lost, spoilt, or have not received your postal vote ballot we sent to you, you can apply for a replacement.
Replacements for lost or spoilt postal ballots can be issued in person at Lambeth Town Hall between 9am-5pm on weekdays, from Thursday 29 April, until 5pm on polling day, Thursday 6 May.
To get your replacement postal ballot, you must bring photo ID and proof of address with you.
If you cannot collect your replacement postal vote in person, or if you have any other questions, please contact us for more information.
