The sun is shining, the sky is blue and today is the day that (hopefully) you will visit your local polling station and cast your vote in the Local, County and European Elections.
If you’ve lost your polling card, don’t worry – just turn up at your polling station with confirmation of your address.
The polling stations opened at 7am this morning and will close at 10pm with the count starting tomorrow morning at 9am at the West Wight Sports Centre. We’ll bring you the news as soon as we get it.
