How to vote

Polling stations in Gedling borough will open their doors at 7am.

Your local polling station is highlighted on your polling card which was sent out to everyone who registered to vote.

Polling stations across the borough will remain open until 10pm but make sure you give yourself plenty of time. If you are stuck in a queue at 10pm, you might miss your chance to have your say.

You don’t need a polling cad to vote, you simply need to be on the electoral register.

Once all the polls close at ten, the ballots from each constituency are counted. The results probably won’t start to become clear until the early hours of the morning.

In previous elections, the winner usually becomes clear at around 3am as seats across the borough and country declare who has won.

However, if close, it could be as late as 6am on Friday morning when the winner is known.
