polling card name spelling

homah_7ft · 2015-05-08 15:25:59

Hi, my polling card arrived at my new address today. I noticed however there is a spelling mistake in my surname (m replaced with n). Will I still be able to vote?

Yes, you do not actually need your polling card to vote. Just bring some form of photo ID with you, and you can update the register whenever you like.

Same with me, I have a spelling mistake on my polling card too. And I didn't even register! My French girlfriend registered for me somehow. Some politician called to the door, asked if anyone in the house was eligible to vote. She gave my name and I received a polling card in the post with the misspelling.
