You’ve probably seen the adverts on TV - you know, the ones with the massive post-it notes, urging voters to bring photographic ID to the polling station.

But if you intend to vote at the July 4 general election and haven’t got an appropriate form of photo ID, then you better get a move on.

Would-be voters have until 5pm next Wednesday, June 24, to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate.

Applications can be made through https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-voter-authority-certificate while passports, driving licences and certain kinds of bus passes are among the forms of ID that will be accepted at polling stations.
