Eifion Evans is the Returning Officer for Ceredigion Preseli. He said: “We don’t want anyone to risk losing their right to vote so make sure you’re registered to vote before midnight Tuesday, 18 June. If you are voting at a polling station, I urge you to familiarise yourself with the changes the voter ID requirement brings, including what type of ID document is acceptable.
