Residents urged to get ready for May elections - less than 100 days to go
Elections and voting03 February 2025

With under 100 days to go and the new electoral register published on 1 February, residents across North Northamptonshire are being asked to think ahead and get ready for elections taking place locally on Thursday 1 May 2025.
On 1 May 2025, eligible registered electors will be able to vote in two elections:
- North Northamptonshire Council elections
- Town and Parish elections
These elections will also see changes to local government boundaries and wards, meaning residents may be voting in a new or different ward, with a list of the new boundaries available on the NNC website.
Partly due to these changes, your polling station might differ from the last time you voted, and so residents are being urged to double check their poll card when it arrives closer to election day.
Anyone wishing to vote in person now needs to bring acceptable photographic ID, an Anonymous Electors Document or a Voter Authority Certificate.
If you don’t have any form of photo ID from the accepted list on the council website, or your ID no longer looks like you, you can apply for a free Voter Authority Certificate. Applicants must be registered to vote beforehand. You can apply online for a Voter Authority Certificate via the Government website.
Voters wishing to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate should first make sure they are registered to vote.
This is a really exciting time in North Northamptonshire with local elections taking place at the beginning of May.Adele Wylie, Returning Officer for North Northamptonshire Council
We are asking residents to think ahead, make sure they are registered to vote and have accepted photo ID or applied for a Voter Authority Certificate before they turn up to vote.
But there have also been some changes to boundaries and polling stations which will have an impact on residents - so do take a look at the new boundaries online and double check your polling card when it arrives, as you may be voting at a different polling station to usual.
More information about the elections, including deadlines for applying for postal and proxy votes is available on the council website.
