This is the first time in Scotland that voters will need to show photo ID at the polling station before being allowed to vote.

Accepted forms of ID include a passport; photocard driving licence; older persons or disabled persons bus pass; and Young Scot card. The ID doesn’t need to be valid on the day of the election, the photo simply needs to be an accurate likeness of you.

More information on registering to vote and on how to vote in person, by post and by proxy, as well as on voter ID, can be found online at gov.uk/vote-uk-election.
