Early voting

Voting in the local elections in May in Gateshead will see the return of traditional polling stations. Recent local elections have been entirely by postal vote but recent abuses elsewhere in the country of the postal voting system. If you have applied for a postal vote in recent years, you will automatically receive one before polling day, Thursday 4th May.

From Monday 24th April to Wednesday 3rd May, voters who do not have a postal vote, will be able to vote at an early polling station. There will only be one such polling station in the borough and anyone using it will have to take identification and sign for their ballot paper.
