Remember to bring your ID when you go to vote on 2 May.  

Voters will need to show photo ID at polling stations before you can receive your ballot paper. Accepted forms of ID include a UK, European Economic Area (EEA) or Commonwealth passport; a drivers’ licence, including provisional; some concessionary travel passes, such as an older person’s bus pass or disabled person’s pass; and the new free Voter Authority Certificate.

You'll be able to use an expired ID if you are still recognisable from the photo.
