"Do you want West Berkshire District Council to use the neighbourhood plan for Hungerford to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?"

Your poll card

If you are registered to vote, you will be sent a poll card after Thursday 30 October 2025. This will tell you when the referendum is due to take place and how you will vote. It will state whether you are registered to vote in person, by post or have a proxy vote in place.

If you are registered to vote at a polling station, the poll card will give the address and hours of poll which will be 7am until 10pm. 

If you already have a postal vote in place, you will be sent a postal poll card after Thursday 30 October 2025 which will give details of your postal voting arrangements. 

If you already have a proxy vote in place, you will be sent a proxy poll card after Thursday 30 October 2025 with details of your proxy voting arrangements. Your nominated proxy will also be sent a proxy poll card, telling them how to vote on your behalf.  

Voting at a polling station

You do not need to take your poll card with you to the polling station to vote, unless you are a registered anonymous voter, but you must bring photo ID. 

Find out more about what photo ID you can bring and how to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate if you don't have any of the accepted forms of ID.
