This year’s Local Elections are due to take place on 4th May 2023.

The election is important – it is your chance to have your say! Why not have a postal vote? It’s secure and easy. To ask for a postal vote call Blackburn with Darwen Council on 01254 585920 or go to www.blackburn.gov.uk/elections-and-voting/postal-votes. This year when you go to vote, you will be asked to show photographic ID in order to vote. If you are unsure whether your ID is valid, or if you require a form of photo ID, the Council have set up a page to help: www.blackburn.gov.uk/elections-and-voting/voter-id.
