Your right to vote by post
Electoral Services - May 2006
susan.hutson@kirklees.gov.uk
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 or download an application form (PDF 216KB). Please read the guidance notes (PDF 44KB) carefully.
