People across Nottinghamshire are being told not to "lose their voice" in upcoming elections by making sure that they comply with new Government rules. The Elections Act passed last year means that people now have to bring a form of photo ID with them when they vote at an election.
The first set of elections it will affect will be the upcoming local votes across the UK on May 4. Elections will be taking place for all of Nottinghamshire's seven district and borough councils, as well as at Nottingham City Council.
Ahead of the voting, district councils are now urging people to make sure that they are complaint with the new rules on bringing ID. Passports and driving licences can be used, even if they are out of date, as long as the person still resembles the photo.
