Voting by Post

General Information

• You can cancel your application for a postal vote at any time but if it is too late to cancel it for a forthcoming election, you can use the postal vote ballot and hand it in to any polling station in your ward
  
• Similarly if you have received a postal ballot and did not request one or cannot remember requesting one, you can hand it in to any polling station in your ward.  You will need to use the postal vote ballot for that election but you can contact us to request to vote at a polling station in future
  
• We can issue replacement postal vote ballots in the event of the original being damaged or a mistake being made on the ballot paper.  You must return the pieces of the ballot paper to us before a replacement can be issued
  
• Unfortunately if you have lost your postal vote ballot in its entirety we are unable to issue a replacement.

• Postal votes can be sent abroad but it is at your own risk.  We are unable to send postal votes out until 2 weeks before the election.  If you are confident that you have enough time to receive the ballot paper and send it back to us before the deadline we will be happy to send it anywhere in the world.
