Postal Votes: New Rules and Reapplying
If you applied for a postal vote before 31 October 2023 you will have recently received a letter or email from us about some changes.
Due to new rules introduced by the Elections Act 2022, you’ll need to reapply if you wish to continue to receive a postal vote.
Reapplying is quick and easy, please just visit www.gov.uk/apply-postal-vote
To reapply you’ll need the following information:
- Your date of birth
- Your National Insurance number
- A photo or scanned copy of your handwritten signature (black ink on plain white paper)
The Council will be sending reminders out in November.
To save postage costs, please apply online if you are able to. If you don’t reapply, your current postal vote will expire on 31 January 2026.
