A guide to what happens on 5 May.
Every council seat in London's 32 boroughs is up for election on 5 May - a chance for London's 6.2 million voters to bring in a new set of councillors alongside five local mayors. But how does the day actually work?If you are on the electoral register, you should have received a polling card by 21 March. This contains your polling number and polling station address.
Take the ballot papers to a screened booth, where you will find a pencil to mark your vote with, although you can use your own pen if you'd prefer. If you make a mistake, you can get another ballot paper - as long as you have not put the first one in the ballot box.ReutersYes. Some people spoil their votes as a protest vote. While these do not count towards any candidate, the votes are recorded.Can I vote without going to the polling station?
Yes. You can ask the presiding officer to mark the paper for you, or bring a close family member who is over 18, or someone else who is eligible to vote, like a support worker, with you.
