Postal Voting
If you are a registered elector you can choose to vote by post instead of at your local polling station. If you choose to vote by post, your ballot papers will be sent to you by first class post for you to complete and return. Once you have applied for a postal vote you cannot vote in person at your polling station unless you cancel your postal vote, in writing, by 5pm on the eleventh working day before election day.
Under legislation introduced on 1 January 2007, anyone choosing to vote by post must provide a signature specimen and their date of birth. These Personal Identifiers are securely stored. Each time you vote by post, your signature and date of birth provided on the postal voting statement will be checked against these identifiers to ensure your postal vote remains secure.
If an elector is unable to sign in a consistent or distinctive way because of any disability then they may be granted an exemption from doing so. For further information on this, please contact Electoral Services on 020 8547 5026.
