Returning Officer for Edinburgh, Andrew Kerr said:
Today marks one step closer to the Capital going to the polls, and we now crucially know who our residents will have the opportunity to vote for on 4 July.
We want everyone to be able to exercise their democratic right and vote in this General Election. Due to its timing, we’re expecting increased demand for postal and proxy votes and I’d encourage everyone to make the appropriate arrangements as soon as possible – whether that’s registering to vote, applying for different ways to vote or ensuring they have the correct photo ID.
I want to thank our colleagues who are working hard to ensure this election runs smoothly and efficiently for the people of Edinburgh.
Detailed advice on registering to vote, the use of postal and proxy votes and other guidance is available on the Council’s website.
This is the first General Election where voters must show a form of photo identification (ID) to cast their ballot. A list of approved forms of ID and information on how to obtain a free voter ID are also available on the website.
