Local Elections and European elections will be held on Thursday 22nd May. Poll cards for this election will be hand-delivered to all registered electors in the borough between 12th and 21st April.

Information about altering voting arrangements is printed on poll cards.  Electors should note that the last date to register is 6th May, and to apply for a postal vote is 7th May. If you know now that you will be unable to vote in person on polling day please contact Election Services as soon as possible; you do not need to wait for your poll card; arrangements can be made now.

For information, all poll cards refer to the date of the election, the polling station location and the hours of the poll i.e. 7am to 10pm.  You do not need to take your poll card to the polling station to be able to vote.

If residents are not on the Register of Electors they will be unable to vote; if you have not registered at your current address please contact Election Services straight away.

Please note the following changes to our polling stations, which will be indicated on your poll card:

•             Dukes Hall – This hall has closed. Voters who have previously voted here should now vote at: Holy Cross church Hall, Hornchurch Road.

•             Towers Junior School – We are using the Infant School instead of the Junior School. Voters who have previously voted here should now vote at: Towers Infant School, Osborne Road.

•             Please note that Rainham Village Primary School has now reopened. If you voted at St Helen’s Church Hall in 2012 please note that this was a one-off and polling will take place at the Primary School.
