A few things to remember about postal voting:

  • Once you have been issued a postal vote you can't vote at a polling station, but you can drop your postal vote off at the polling station as long as the polling station is in the same ward.
  • Remember that you must return your postal vote by 10.00pm on the day of the election.
  • If you move house or change your name you will need to complete a new postal application. 
  • If you want a postal vote it is good to apply early.  Don't wait until an election is called.
