    Yes.

    Contrary to popular belief a polling card is not required when voting. In fact it does not even constitute an acceptable form of I.D. if you are asked to provide proof of identity.

    A polling card simply makes the life of the polling clerk/presiding officer easier by enabling them to find your name on the register using the number on your card.

    Thanks Rebbler!

    Looking forward to it now! :-)

    Don't forget to bring some evidence of identity in case it's needed - passport, driving licence, employee identity card etc etc.......
