Voting stations in the wards listed below will be open this Saturday, 4 November 2023, and Sunday, 05 November 2023, from 08h00 to 17h00 to allow all eligible voters to register and for current voters to check their registration details and to provide/update address details where necessary.
Voters should take their identity document (ID) with them - either a green barcoded ID book, a smartcard ID, or a valid Temporary ID Certificate.
