Dear John,

Tomorrow’s the big day!

There are important things to share before polls open tomorrow.

Make sure everyone you know is prepared and ready to vote.

Here are the 11 crucial facts everyone needs to know before polling day.

If you haven’t completed our survey, now is your last chance!

1. Polls open at 7am across the country and close at 10pm.

2. If you go at 9:59pm, there might well be queues outside your polling station (we love to leave things to the last minute). But if you join the queue before 10pm, they will let you in to vote.

3. You don’t need an ID to vote EXCEPT in Northern Ireland.

4. You also don’t need to bring your polling card.

5. You can bring your kids into the polling station, but you can’t let them mark your ballot paper.

6. You can bring your dog, but you’ll have to leave them outside (they’re also not allowed to vote).

7. If you’re worried a disability could prevent you from voting tomorrow, there is help available! If you wish, the presiding officer for your polling station can mark your ballot paper for you, or any close family member or support worker who are eligible to vote can come with you into the voting booth.

If you cannot enter the polling station due to a disability, the presiding officer is allowed to bring your ballot paper out to you. Large print ballot papers are available to those with visual impairment.  

There is a dedicated voting helpline for those with learning disabilities, their families and carers at 020 7696 6009.

8. If you have a postal vote and you haven't sent it off yet, you can bring it to your polling station between 7am and 10pm

9. You can’t take pictures inside a polling station. But you should definitely take and share a selfie outside the polling station to remind your friends to vote!

10. Legally, you can vote if you’re drunk. So, don’t worry if you’ve had a few after work, just make sure you put the X in the right box!

11. You can’t sign your ballot paper. You can’t right messages to candidates either, as it may well lead to your vote not being counted.

Now you’re clued up on voting, make sure you’ve got a plan. Take our election day survey and help us tailor our polling updates for you tomorrow.

Let’s get some rest tonight, it’s a big day tomorrow!

Best wishes,

Cary Mitchell
