How do I vote?

If your name is on the electoral register and your are aged 18 or over, you should get a poll card about 15 days before an election. The poll card will tell you where to vote and the times that the polling station will be open.

Polling stations (pdf format 31.9 kb) gives a list of where the polling stations are in each of Wealden's District Wards.

The clerk at the polling station will confirm your name and address, check your name is on the register and then give you a ballot paper.

The ballot paper will say how many candidates you can vote for. Take the ballot paper to one of the polling booths and put a cross (X) in the box next to the name of the candidate(s) you want to support.

Do not write anything else on the ballot paper or your vote will not be counted. Once you have voted you must fold the ballot paper to hide your vote. Place your folded ballot paper in the locked ballot box. You don't have to tell anyone whom you voted for.
