The deadline to apply for free voter ID ahead of the elections in Peterborough ends today (April 24).

Anyone who doesn't have an accepted form of ID for the upcoming Peterborough City Council election and the Cambridgeshire Police and Crime Commissioner election can apply for free voter ID until 5pm on April 24.

All voters in Peterborough will need to show photo ID to receive their ballot paper for both elections on May 2.

Accepted forms of ID include a UK, European Economic Area (EEA) or Commonwealth passport; a UK or EEA driving licence; and some concessionary travel passes, such as an older person's bus pass.

You can use expired ID at the polling stations if you are still recognisable from the photo.
