Guidance notes - completing a Postal Vote Application Form
Filling in the form
Sections 1 and 2
This will have been pre-printed with your registration details. Please check that it is correct and amend
as necessary. We don’t need you middle name in full, just your middle initial.
Section 3
You need to decide for how long you require a postal vote and mark the applicable box. Most postal
votes are until further notice and can be cancelled by the elector.
Section 4
If you will be away from home, then you can choose to have your ballot papers sent to an address other
than the one shown in Section 1. If you choose for your ballot paper to be sent to a different address
other than the address you are registered at you must give a reason for the alternative address. The
postal vote must be completed by you, no one else can vote on your behalf. If you wish to appoint a
proxy to vote on your behalf please contact the Electoral Service Office.
Section 5
You must enter your date of birth in the format DD/MM/YYYY and sign the form within the grey box. Try
to keep the entries inside the boxes. If possible use black ink. Failure to do so may invalidate your
application.
Your personal identifiers will be stored securely. 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 you are unable to provide a signature, or you are unable to sign in a consistent or distinctive way
because of any disability, or you are unable to read or write, the registration officer, in these
circumstances, may grant you an exemption, which will mean you will not be required to provide a
signature.
Please note that the deadline for the receipt of new postal vote applications is 5pm eleven working days
prior to the date of an election, and it is recommended that you submit your application as soon as
possible.
