Postal Voting
Electors wishing to apply for a postal vote can now do so online at Apply for a postal vote | GOV.UK
Postal vote packs can either be put in the post or handed in at the council offices during office hours to a person authorised to receive postal votes or at any polling station in the voting area before 10pm on Thursday 4 July 2024. You will need to complete a form when handing your postal vote pack in.
Do not put any postal votes in the letter box of the council office as they will be rejected.
You can hand in your own postal vote and postal votes for up to 5 other voters. If you are a political campaigner you can only hand in your own postal vote plus the votes of up to 5 family members or people for whom you provide regular care.
Proxy Voting
If you wish to appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf please note that a person can now only act as a proxy for a maximum of 4 electors, of which no more than 2 may be a domestic elector (someone who is not a service elector or overseas elector).
As a result of the new ward boundaries, your polling station may have changed - check your polling station online here.
If voting in person, please check the details on your poll card.
There should be no barriers to voting for people with disabilities or mental health conditions. Please let us know if we can provide any help or equipment to make it easier for you to vote independently and secretly.
