Local elections are currently underway in Bath and North East Somerset.

Residents across the region can vote for their local ward Councillors for B&NES as well as Parish and Town Councillors in their patch.

Polling stations have been open since 7AM this morning, and will remain open until 10PM tonight.

Residents will need to take their Photo ID or Voter Authority Certificate along with them to be able to vote. Today is the first set of elections in the UK where the Photo ID ruling has come into affect.

You do not need to take your poll card with you to the polling station.

If, however, you've lost your poll card and aren't sure where to go as a result, you can find your polling station by searching your postcode online.
