If you can't go to the polling station on polling day you can apply to vote by post.
You can download a postal vote application form from the "Related Documents" section of this page, or alternatively you can call the elections helpline on 01225 477333. The deadline for postal vote applications is eleven working days before an election. If you are given a postal vote, you will not be entitled to vote in person at your polling station.
We can send postal ballot papers to your home address or to any other address that you give. Ballot papers can be sent overseas, but you need to think about whether you will have time to receive and return them by polling day.
If you have applied for a postal vote, you should receive your postal ballot papers about a week before polling day.
