Do I need to take ID with me to vote?
Ideally, yes.
The States Greffe advises voters to take a passport or driving licence, to ensure they can receive their ballot papers quickly.
If this is not possible, it says that voters can show an alternative form of ID, including a work ID, a phone that allows them to login to Yoti/Jersey Me, or a utility bill dated within the last three months.
If voters arrive without any ID, officials will seek to verify their identity using parish records, although this may take some time.
Are there any other ways of voting?
Registered voters who are sick, incapacitated or have challenges with literacy can request a home visit on election day.
It is necessary to contact your parish hall to arrange this. Details are available here.
And people who had intended to submit a postal vote, but who now want to vote in person, are advised to take their postal voting pack - including ballot papers - to their registered polling station and to speak to officials.
