Polling stations open for Kent County Council election

Polling stations are now open for today’s Kent County Council election – you have until 10pm to go and cast your vote.

Please remember that you will need to take accepted photo identification with you.

You can see the full list of accepted ID.

If you require an emergency proxy vote for this election, you must apply for this by 5pm today.

Anyone who has not yet returned their postal vote can do so at a polling station, or it can be handed in to our office in Rose Lane, Canterbury, until 5pm.

You will need to complete a postal vote return form at the polling station or our office, otherwise the postal vote will be rejected.

The count will then take place during the day tomorrow (Friday 2 May).

We will be live at the count to announce the results as they happen, and you can follow the countywide situation on KCC’s website.
