Residents in Emsworth can now access details of all candidates standing in the upcoming by-election, scheduled for Thursday 19 November, following an announcement by Havant Borough Council.

Key information regarding the election, including the statement of persons nominated, is available on the Havant Borough Council website. Poll cards are currently being delivered to properties within the ward, and postal votes will be despatched on 6 November.
Voters are reminded that they do not need to bring their poll card to the polling station, unless they have an anonymous registration. However, photographic identification is required, and individuals must be on the Electoral Register to vote in all UK elections and referendums. Moving house, even if council tax is paid, does not automatically update registration.
For further details on acceptable forms of photo ID, voters can consult the Electoral Commission's guidance. Registering to vote is a straightforward process that can be completed online via the Government's webpage or by downloading a paper form from GOV.UK. Alternatively, the Elections Team at Havant Borough Council can be contacted via email at elections.office@havant.gov.uk or by calling 023 9244 6225.
