You don't need your polling card to vote.

You only need two things:

1) To be registered to vote

It's too late to do this if you haven't already.

2) To know where you polling station is

The location of your polling station is written on your polling card.

If you've lost your polling card and don't know where it is, contact your electoral registration officer

When you get to the polling station they will ask for your details and look you up on the register.

When the volunteer finds you, they will give you your ballot paper and you can vote.

Presenting your polling card to the officer saves time, nothing more. It's more of a reminder to vote than anything else.
