Vote by post or by proxy

Postal voting is where we send you your ballot paper around 10 days before the election.

You can apply to vote by post if you cannot get to your polling station for any reason.

Once a postal vote is set up you cannot vote in person at your polling station, unless you cancel your postal vote.

You can apply for a postal vote by 5pm, 11 working days before the election.

Apply online

To vote by post, you must be registered to vote.

Apply for a postal vote – GOV.UK

Apply using a paper form

Visit the Electoral Commission to download a paper postal vote application form.

Cancel your postal vote

We must receive your cancellation request no later than 5pm, 11 working days before an election.

If you want to cancel your postal vote:

• you must do so in writing
