A huge change is coming for voters this May.
Previously, in England, Scotland and Wales, you didn't need to take anything with you when visiting a polling station to vote. But from May 4, 2023, voters across the UK will need to show photo ID to vote at polling stations in some elections and from October this will also apply to general elections.
Money Saving Expert founder Martin Lewis previously warned the importance of being able to vote as he said: "Voting is one of the biggest consumer decisions any of us will ever make. It affects our pockets, environment, locality and quality of living. So it’s important to vote, or you lose your right to whinge.”
