If you do not have valid photo ID

If you're registered to vote, but do not have a valid photo ID, you can still vote. 

You'll need to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate. This is a photo ID that can only be used for voting purposes.

You can also download an application form to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate by post.
