Chance to find out more about voter's ID
Gosport Borough Council is taking part in a national trial of using ID when voting, as a way of making elections more secure and council officers are taking a road show around local supermarkets to help spread the word.
For the borough elections on May 3, voters will need to take ID to their local polling station before getting a ballot paper — for example a passport or driving licence.
