Abstract: In the framework of the Electroweak Theory we discuss a class of gauge fixing choices suitable for the calculation of electromagnetic processes. We show in particular that, with our choices, beyond the basic Slavnov-Taylor identities guaranteeing the independence of the physical results of the particular gauge fixing, one also has the standard QED Ward identities which play a well known crucial role in the calculation of electromagnetic processes and, in particular, in the analysis of the electromagnetic radiative corrections.
