Voters in Kirklees are going to the polls on Thursday May 4.

Kirklees Council is currently controlled by Labour and the council make-up is: Labour (36 seats), Conservative (18 seats), Liberal Democrat (eight seats), Green (three seats), Holme Valley Independents (three seats) and other Independents (one seat).

A third of all 69 seats are up for election with one seat in each of the 23 wards going to the polls. There is also an additional seat in the Ashbrow ward.

Of the 24 district seats up for election this year, Labour hold 11, Conservative five, Liberal Democrats four, Independents three and Green one.

For the first time, voters across the country will need to show photographic ID when voting at polling stations.

Accepted forms of ID include a UK, European Economic Area (EEA) or Commonwealth passport; a UK, EEA or Commonwealth drivers’ licence; and some concessionary travel passes, such as an older person’s bus pass or an Oyster 60+ card. Voters will be able to use expired ID if they are still recognisable from the photo.
