Do you vote by post? New rules for postal voting

New legislation as part of the Elections Act 2022 means that all postal voters must reapply every three years and complete an identity check.

What’s changing?
If you applied for a postal vote before 30 October 2023, you need to reapply this year to keep voting by post.

How to reapply

If this affects you, you should have received an email or letter from the Elections Team. Please respond as soon as possible. Don’t wait for the deadline.

If you don’t reapply, your postal vote will be cancelled and you’ll need to vote in person at your polling station. Your polling station will be confirmed when your poll cards are sent.
