Request accreditation for the Local Elections Count May 2024

This form is for members of the media applying for accreditation to attend the Manchester City Council local elections count event 2024. 

This will take place at Manchester Central Convention Complex on Friday 3 May (the day after voting takes place.) 

This form is NOT for accreditation for the GM Mayoral elections declaration. For that you need to contact Greater Manchester Combined Authority at  news@greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk

Your details may be shared with Greater Manchester Police for simple background checks akin to accreditation for a party political conference. By applying you are consenting to your details being passed on for these purposes. 

Accreditation closes on Monday 22 April at 6pm.  

Names cannot be changed after this date and late applications will only be considered in exceptional circumstances. A separate form must be completed for each person attending. 

You will need to provide current photo ID (NUJ card, passport or photocard driving licence) to gain admission on the day.  

When you go through the form, don't use your normal 'Back' button to return to an earlier question. Use the 'Previous' button at the bottom of the page you are on.
