Where is my polling station? Where to vote at local elections in Buckinghamshire

Around 420,000 people are eligible to vote across Buckinghamshire’s 49 wards, which are served by 365 polling stations.

Polling stations will be open from 7am to 10pm on May 1, and a full list of their locations is available on the council website here.

Once the polls close, the counting of votes will take place the following day on May 2 at Stoke Mandeville Stadium in Aylesbury.

Electors’ polling stations are listed on their polling cards, which make voting quicker if taken along when voting – although this is not mandatory.

However, people must show a photo ID such as a passport or driving licence to vote at polling stations. A list of accepted forms of ID can be found here.

Dozens of ballot boxes were spotted being prepared at the council’s headquarters in Aylesbury earlier this month.

And on polling day, many of the containers will be stationed in schools, churches, community centres and village halls up and down Bucks.

However, some boxes will be in more unusual venues serving as polling stations, such as the Golden Cross pub in Saunderton and Marlow Football Club.

Other venues welcoming voters on May 1 include Ibstone Cricket Club, Wycombe Museum and Foxhill Indoor Bowls Club in Aylesbury.

Bucks Council will decrease from having 147 councillors down to 97 seats after Thursday’s vote.
