Applying for a postal vote could not be easier.

1. The law now allows anyone included in a Register of Electors to apply for a postal vote without the need to give any reason or to have the application form countersigned.
    
2.  If you would simply prefer to vote by post instead of going to a polling station you can apply on this form.
    
3. Postal votes can be sent anywhere, either inside or outside the United Kingdom (if, for example, you are going on holiday). Remember, though, that if the address is outside the UK it will take time to reach you and for you to return it in order for your vote to be counted.
    
4. If you move house you must tell the Electoral Registration Officer immediately, or you may lose your postal vote.
    
5. Please remember that there is always a last day to receive postal vote applications in time for a particular election. This day and time will be advertised closer to the election date.
    
6. You are strongly advised to complete and send in your application early. Don't wait until the election date is known.

Anyone who would like to vote by post should contact Electoral Services on 01484 222400
