Sefton Council has issued a warning to residents looking to vote in May’s elections as new changes are set to come into force.
Under new legislation, voters will now need to bring photo ID with them to vote in person in elections, a situation councillors in Sefton have previously discussed as a risk of putting people off voting.
In a bid to encourage more people to be able to cast their votes, Sefton Council has now warned residents to ensure they have the right form of photograph ID, as not all will be accepted.
