From 4 May 2023, voters in Wales will need to show photo ID to vote at polling stations in some elections.

Voting gives you a chance to voice your opinion on important issues that affect you, your local area and your country.

Instead of going to your polling station you can apply to vote by post.

If you are unable to go to the polling station on polling day you can ask someone you trust to cast your vote on your behalf.

When Councillors are elected for the first time, it takes a while to understand what the Council does and their role within it.
