Following the boundary review conducted by the Local Government Boundary Commission England (LGBCE), there have been some changes to the County Division boundaries. Some electors may find they are now voting in a different area or at a different polling station.

You can view the new boundaries on the Local Government Boundary Commission England (LGBCE) website. Your poll card will have your up-to-date division and polling station information.

Residents across the county are being urged to remember their ID when they go to vote on 1 May 2025.  

Voters will need to show photo ID at polling stations before they can receive their ballot paper.  

Accepted forms of ID include:  

• a UK, European Economic Area (EEA) or Commonwealth passport
• a UK or EEA drivers’ licence
• some concessionary travel passes, such as an older person’s bus pass or an Oyster 60+ card
• the free Voter Authority Certificate

If you don’t have an accepted form of photo ID

If you don’t already have an accepted form of photo ID, or you’re not sure whether your photo ID still looks like you, you can apply for a free voter ID document, known as a Voter Authority Certificate. You can apply for this at voter-authority-certificate.service.gov.uk.

Alternatively, you can complete a paper application form and send this to your local council.

The deadline to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate for use at the 1 May local elections is 5pm Wednesday 23 April.

If you need any help with applying for a Voter Authority Certificate or want to request a paper application form, contact your local district council or visit Voting and elections | Electoral Commission.

The Council is required, by the Local Government Act 2000 and the Local Authorities (Referendums) (Petitions) (England) Regulations 2011, to publish the minimum number of signatures which would be needed to support a valid petition requiring the Council to hold a referendum on whether or not there should be an Elected Mayor or Committee system for Worcestershire County Council instead of its current Leader and Cabinet system.

The minimum number of signatures (equivalent to 5% of the local government electorate in Worcestershire) is 22,246.

The above number will apply to any petition regularly submitted to the Council before 1 April 2020. However, a new number will be published and the new number will apply from the date it is published. Where that new number is less than the number published in the preceding year, that lesser number will apply to any petition presented to the Council between the date of its publication and 1 April of that year.
