For the May 2026 elections, we are running the ‘polling station finder’ in partnership with Democracy Club. This tool helps ensure voters have access to accurate and timely information about how and where they can vote.

We need your updated polling station information to make sure voters head to the right polling station. Having this information easily available online should help to reduce the number of queries from voters looking for their polling place.  

If you have not done so already, providing your data is straightforward. You can export the data from your EMS and upload it using Democracy Club’s easy-to-use tool.  

Alternatively, you can email it to [email protected].   

Detailed instructions are available for each supplier, if you need them.  

Please send your polling station data as soon as possible, so we have enough time to add the information to our ‘polling station finder’ tool.  

If you’d like to see the polling station finder on your own website, you can embed our election widget.  

As part of Welcome to Your Vote Week 2026, we are hosting a presentation to share findings from the second year of the Electoral Commission’s Youth Tracker survey.

The webinar will take place at 11:00am on Tuesday 10 March 2026.

The Youth Tracker is a UK-wide survey of 2,500 young people aged 11–25. It explores young people’s understanding of democracy, their confidence in participating, and how they engage with politics.  

The session will highlight how access to political education, family background and information sources shape young people’s engagement with democracy. It will also explore what this means for those supporting democratic participation at a local level, including electoral administrators and partners working with young people.

There will be an opportunity to ask questions during the session.
