Voters across Greater Manchester have been urged to 'act now' to make sure they will be able to cast their ballot in the upcoming local elections.
Tuesday at 5pm marks the deadline to apply for a free Voter Authority Certificate - the document voters must have if they don't have any other eligible form of identification.
Under controversial new rules, voters will need a VAC to vote at a polling station on May 4 if they don't have approved photographic ID, which includes a valid UK or EU passport, a photocard driving licence or a parking Blue Badge. Out-of-date photo ID can also be used as long as the image bears a true likeness.
