Vote by post

Full instructions are provided in your postal vote pack. Please keep your postal vote safe until you are ready to cast your vote.

When you vote remember to:

• make your vote on your ballot paper in secret
• fill in the postal voting statement as directed
• put the ballot and statement in the envelope provided and seal it up
• return your postal vote in the pre-paid envelope provided in your postal vote pack and post it in any Royal Mail post box

Returning your postal vote

Please allow enough time for your postal vote to reach us. We must receive it no later than 10pm on polling day.

You can use the pre-paid envelope provided in your postal vote pack and post it in any Royal Mail post box. Please allow enough time for your postal vote to be delivered back to us.

You can also hand deliver your completed postal voteto the council offices during office hours, or at a polling station on election day. You will need to complete a statutory form - our staff will help you with this.

Please be aware that you can hand deliver your own and no more than five other postal votes per election.

If you are a campaigner, you can only hand in your own postal vote, and those of close relatives or people for whom you provide regular care.

Plesae do not leave your postal vote in any council office post boxes, reception points or a polling station desk without completing a form, otherwise your vote will be rejected.
