May 2026 elections: call for polling station data reminder

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 (opens in new window).  

Alternatively, you can email it to [email protected] (opens in new window). 

Detailed instructions are available for each supplier, if you need them (opens in new window). 

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 (opens in new window). 

Please note, you will only have to submit the data once to Democracy Club. The data will then be used by the Electoral Commission for its polling station finder, and by the Electoral Management Board for use on its Vote. Wales website.
