Robert Pollock, returning officer for the local elections in Cambridge, said: "These elections are your opportunity to positively influence what happens in your city by electing a councillor to represent your area.

"Please remember that you will need to bring a valid form of photo ID in order to vote in person. Please remind your friends, neighbours and family members that they will need to bring their photo ID – and please be patient as we all get used to the new system.

"Voters who are clinically vulnerable and continue to wear a face covering, or who wear a face covering for other reasons, will be asked to remove it temporarily for the purpose of an ID check. Polling staff can do this check outside of the polling station if requested."
