How to vote

You can vote by post if you don’t want to vote in person at a polling station.

Since Tuesday 31 October:

• all postal vote applications require ID verification
• postal votes are now only set up for a maximum of 3 years and you will have to submit a new postal vote application after that time

Find out more about the changes on The Electoral Commission's website.

If you've changed your address since your last application, apply for a new postal vote at the new address.

You can apply for a postal vote online on GOV.UK.

Postal vote application forms are available to download and print from the Electoral Commission’s website.

Completed forms can be either be:

• scanned and emailed to [email protected]
• posted to:
  Electoral Services
  The Gateway,
  Gatehouse Road,
  Aylesbury,
  HP19 8FF

If you're unable to print the form, call 01296 798 141.

If you have a postal vote in place, you will be sent a postal poll card a few weeks before the election which will tell you when the election is due to take place and give details of your postal voting arrangements.

The Electoral Commission have instructions on how to vote by post. Paper instructions on how to complete and return your postal vote are also provided as part of the pack.

If we have sent you a postal vote ballot paper and you have either lost or damaged it, you can request a replacement by emailing [email protected].

Take it to your local polling station by 10pm on election day.
