Voting in Person
Before an election you will receive a polling card through the post. On election day, you can (but don't have to) take the card along to your local polling station, which will be detailed on the polling card.
Staff will mark your name off a list (electoral register) and give you a ballot paper(s) printed with a security mark.
You then enter a booth, where you put an 'X' in the box next to the person or party (some elections allow you to make several choices, this will be shown on the ballot paper) you want to vote for.
Fold the ballot paper in half and put it in the ballot box.
