The rules in relation to Postal Votes for UK Parliament Elections has changed.  There is now a requirement to re-apply for your postal vote every three years.

For many of those with existing postal voting arrangements for UK Parliamentary elections, these  expired on 31 January 2026.

The Electoral Registration Officer has contacted those affected by email where an email address is held, and/or by letter.

In order to vote by post at UK Parliamentary elections, you will need to re-apply. You can apply any time, online at gov.uk/apply-postal-vote

You will be required to provide your date of birth and your National Insurance Number. You will also have to upload a photo of your handwritten signature in black ink on plain white paper.

For further assistance with completing the online application see the link below to view a video on how to apply online.

How to apply for a postal vote online.

If you are not able to complete an application using the online service, please contact our office for a paper application form to be issued.  

If you are unable to provide a signature or a consistent signature due to a disability or inability to read or write, but still want to vote by post, you can apply for a postal vote without providing your signature. For more information and to find out how to apply in this way, please contact my office on 0800 030 4333.

This does not affect any postal vote arrangement you have for Scottish Parliamentary and Local Council elections should you have one.
