If you arrive without any ID, the Electoral Administrator will seek to verify your identity using their Parish records, but please note this may take a little longer.
If you are eligible to vote in the election but are unable to attend the Pre-Poll Voting Office due to illness, disability, or illiteracy (as set out under Article 42(11) of the Elections (Jersey) Law 2002), you may request a home visit from an Officer of the Judicial Greffe to enable you to cast your vote.
To approve a home visit, the Judicial Greffier must be satisfied that applying for a postal vote would not have resolved your inability to vote; that it would not have been reasonable to expect you to apply for a postal vote; or that you could not reasonably have foreseen that you would be unable to vote in person.
