The new Melksham and Devizes Primary means we could see and end to 100 years of Conservative MPs in this constituency (formerly parts of Devizes and Chippenham consituencies).
Perhaps you haven't voted before because you felt there was no point? It will be different this time.
Please register to help create this historic change. It only takes a few moments. You’ll be asked for your National Insurance number (but you can still register if you do not have one).
Not sure if you're already registered? Email your local council to ask elections@wiltshire.gov.uk Or it's ok to just register again: https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote
We all now need photo ID to vote in person, despite there being no evidence of any significant voter fraud. Many commentators say the Conservatives have introduced this law to make it harder for young people to vote.
Check you have suitable photo ID. Older people have plenty of options. Younger people don't. https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/voter-id-list-gives-few-options-for-younger-voters/
Option 1: Register now to vote by post. This avoids the need for photo ID. See how below.
Option 2: Apply for a photo ID certificate. This is a new free certificate for people with no photo ID. You'll need a passport photo and your national insurance number. https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-voter-authority-certificate
Print out and complete this application form and sign by hand (it has to be a hand written signature, not digital).
Either send by post to: Electoral Services,Wiltshire Council, County Hall, Bythesea Road, Trowbridge, BA14 8JN or scan the application form and email to voting@wiltshire.gov.uk(opens new window)
