The petition will be opened from Tuesday 20 June and will close on Monday July 31. Those wishing to sign the petition will be allocated a petition place similar to the allocation to a polling place.

More details on these arrangements are available on the council website.

Please note that, as a result of changes to the requirements for UK Parliamentary electoral events, an acceptable form of photographic ID will be required before a signing sheet can be issued to you. You can find more information about voter ID from the Electoral Commission website.

If an elector is registered as a postal voter, the petition signing sheet will be issued to them by post with the same arrangements as for a postal vote.

They would need to return a statement with their date of birth and signature and that will be verified before the signing sheet is opened.
