If you applied for a postal vote before 31 October 2023 you may have recently received a reminder email from us.

  • Due to new rules introduced by the Elections Act 2022, you’ll need to reapply.
  • Reapplying is quick and easy – just visit  www.gov.uk/apply-postal-vote

You’ll need:

  • Your date of birth
