Voting by post
If you are unable to go to your polling station on election day, you can apply online for a postal vote.
Changes to the system for applying for a postal vote, contained in the Elections Act 2022 are effective from 31 October 2023.
Under the new arrangements, you will be able to apply to vote by post for one specific election, or a set period of time for up to three years. After three years you will have to reapply if you wish to continue to vote by post.
Transitional arrangements mean that anyone who has a postal vote that was granted on or before 31 October 2023 will have until 31 January 2026 to reapply.
