(22 Jun 2016, 10:35 am)Michael Stupid question but here it is anyway...

I signed up in April to vote in the EU referendum and the email said Sunderland Council would get back to me to tell me that i can vote but they haven't...

Does this mean i can still vote?

Have you voted in any other election?

(22 Jun 2016, 6:43 pm)Michael Don't think I've received out for it but i wanted to go to the polls anyway as its just along the road, first time voting! 

(22 Jun 2016, 6:57 pm)MurdnunoC But have you received a polling card before and decided not to vote (for whatever reason)?

(22 Jun 2016, 7:03 pm)Michael Ye i think i have, i haven't voted recently because I've never had any interest in it but now, i think its time i should take notice

(22 Jun 2016, 7:06 pm)MurdnunoC Right. That means you were probably already registered to vote and didn't need to register again unless you've moved house within the last five years or so.

(22 Jun 2016, 7:08 pm)Michael Ah right, that's good, thanks, sorry if it sounded like the dumbest question ever!

(22 Jun 2016, 9:24 pm)BusLoverMum If you don't have a card, turn up at your local polling station with some proof of address (eg bank statement, bill or recent official letter such as student loan correspondence). They usually know how to deal with people who have lost their cards - they have a list of people eligible to vote there on them.

lets hope when i get to the place

(22 Jun 2016, 10:01 pm)northern156 I'm almost certain provisional driving licenses are classed as a legal form of ID.

(23 Jun 2016, 7:59 am)MurdnunoC Yes, photocard driving licences are classed as an acceptable form of legal ID.

(23 Jun 2016, 5:03 pm)Tom I haven't really viewed this thread as I'm not interested in politics so sorry if it has been said before but what is everyone voting?

Both my parents are voting leave.

(23 Jun 2016, 8:40 pm)PO51WNF I voted leave.
