Voting is underway in the 2023 local elections, which are taking place across the country.

In Sidmouth, voters will be choosing whom should represent them at Sidmouth Town Council and East Devon District Council.

Your polling card should have been delivered to your home, which will tell you which polling station you need to go to. The stations are open between 7am and 10pm.

For the first time, voters will be required to show some form of photo ID.

You can see the full list of candidates here. For individual statements, search 'local elections 2023' on the Sidmouth Nub News homepage.
