Vote by post

Complete and return your postal vote at an election

Once an election is called you'll receive a postal poll card, giving you all the information you require to vote by post, including the date you can expect your postal vote pack.

Your postal vote must be completed and returned to us before 10.00pm on polling day, any postal votes received after this time cannot be accepted.

Your postal vote will contain your ballot papers and a Postal Voter’s Statement, which must be completed. Instructions on how to complete your postal vote are included in your postal vote pack.

You must complete your own postal vote. It's a criminal offence to complete someone else’s postal vote.

Allow time to return your postal vote from inside and outside of the UK. We are not responsible or liable for:

  • postage costs to return postal votes from outside the UK (you will have to pay)
  • delays caused by postal services inside or outside of the UK
