All candidates are entitled to attend polling stations, except that only one candidate from a particular party list may be present inside a polling station at any given time.
Election agents, or a sub-agent attending in place of an election agent, may also attend.
Additionally, agents may be appointed specifically to attend polling stations on your behalf.1
For more information see our guidance on appointing polling agents.
Finding the location of polling stations
Providing there are no objections the Constituency Returning Officer must give public notice of the location of polling stations by 5pm, 23 working days before the poll.2
They will give a copy of this notice to all appointed election agents soon after this.
Polling station opening hours
Polling stations will be open on polling day between 7am and 10pm. Any voters waiting in a queue at their polling station at 10pm will be allowed to vote, even if they haven’t yet been issued with a ballot paper.
