A Postal Vote

If you know that you won’t be able to get to your polling station on polling day, you might want to vote by post.

This could be because you’re on holiday or because your work, school or college schedule makes it difficult to get to the polling station when it’s open.

Or it could be just that the weather is starting to get colder and you prefer not to visit a polling station.

You can choose to vote by post simply because it would be easier for you, it is for you to decide and no photo ID will be required!

You need to apply to vote by post with your local elections team no later than 5pm on Wednesday 27 November 2024 however, the sooner the better.
