Polling stations

Polling stations have opened today for Salford residents to decide who they want to represent them on the council.

A total of 20 council seats are up for grabs, with residents also voting for the mayor of Salford and Greater Manchester mayor.

Polling stations are open today (May 2) between 7am and 10pm and residents will need to bring their photographic ID in order to cast their vote.

Valid photographic ID includes a passport, driving licence, and some types of bus pass or proof of age card. The ID can be out of date providing that the picture still looks like you, however it must be the original version and not a photocopy.

The count for Salford’s City Mayoral election will take place on Saturday afternoon on May 4 and the results will be announced later that day.

The count for the GMCA mayoral election will also take place on Saturday May 4, with the results declared in the afternoon.

In addition to this, the count for Salford’s local councillors will take place on Sunday May 5 and the results will be announced later that day.

If you may be queueing outside today, the weather is expected to be mostly sunny with a moderate breeze.  The maximum temperature is expected to reach 20 °C.
