Here’s who you can vote for in the East Riding council elections in May 2023

The lists of candidates nominated for the East Riding of Yorkshire Council elections in the Driffield & Wolds Weekly area on Thursday 4th May have been published.

The first wave of poll cards have already been sent out to residents on the electoral register and eligible to vote with the second wave due to be sent out later this month.

But voters should not worry if, for whatever reason, they don’t have a poll card as they do not need one in order to vote.

While poll cards are not needed, this year, those who are eligible and wish to vote in person at a polling station will need to show an accepted form of photo ID before being issued with a ballot paper.
