The Government has confirmed that the forthcoming London Mayor and Greater London Assembly elections will proceed on Thursday 6 May 2021. In March 2020 these were delayed with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Measures are to be put in place to ensure all polling stations are a safe place to vote. Voters can expect many of the safety measures we have become used to over recent months, such as the use of hand sanitiser, floor markings as guides to physical distancing and face coverings.

Register to vote

An extensive canvassing campaign was undertaken in 2020, and in January Lambeth Council sent out Confirmation of Voter Registration letters to all households with registered voters. If you did not receive this letter, and/or are unsure if you are registered, you can check and apply to be registered. Its best to do this now here on the Lambeth Council website; it only takes five minutes.

Postal voting

Everyone is entitled to apply for a postal vote, so you can avoid the need to travel to the polling station on election day. Apply here on the Lambeth Council website.
