General Election

Gear up for the General Election

Thursday 23 May 2024

On Thursday 4 July there will be a General Election to elect new MPs.

To vote in this election, you will need to: 

  • be eligible and registered to vote  

  • know how you’re voting, whether it’s in person, by proxy or by post  

  • have a valid form of ID if you are voting in person. 

Debbie Warren, Chief Executive of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, said: “Our Council is committed to making sure all of those who are eligible to vote are able to exercise their right to vote. If you’re not already registered to vote, be sure to do so and put together a voting plan as soon as possible.”  

Polling Stations in Plumstead & Glyndon Ward

Your poll card

You’ll be sent a poll card just before an election or referendum telling you when to vote and at which polling station.

You can only vote at the polling station location on your card. You do not have to take your poll card with you.

If you have not received a poll card but think you should, contact your local Electoral Registration Office.

You can still vote if you’ve lost your card.

When you can vote

Polling stations will be open from 7am to 10pm on the day of the election (‘polling day’).


When you get to the polling station

  • Give your name and address to the staff inside the polling station when you arrive.

  • You’ll need to show your photo ID to confirm your identity in some elections and referendums.

  • You’ll be given a ballot paper containing a list of the people, parties or options you can vote for.


Filling in your ballot paper

Follow the instructions on the notices in the polling booth and on the top of the ballot paper to vote.
