Major changes to how people vote in elections are set to come into force next month. From May this year people in England, Scotland and Wales who want to cast their vote in person must show a valid form of photographic ID.
Under the new rules, which come into effect on Thursday May 4, only original forms of ID will be allowed and photocopies will not be accepted. The new rules will also apply slightly differently in Wales, as some elections are devolved to the Welsh Government.
Here is everything you need to know about the new voting rules and how they will apply in Wales. To subscribe to the stories that matter most to people in Wales, subscribe to our Wales Matters newsletter here.
