Apply for a postal vote
You now require a valid photo ID to vote at a polling station. There is an easier way to vote.
Register for a postal vote today and you can vote from the comfort of your own home at the next general election. Registering is easy and you can do not need photo ID.
A postal vote means you will receive your ballot paper a couple of weeks before the election, giving you plenty of time to vote, and includes a pre-paid envelope to return it to your local election officials.

Updates to Postal Vote Application
From 31 October 2023, voters will be required to provide their National Insurance number.
Voters will be required to reapply for postal votes every three years. Existing postal voters won’t automatically need to re-apply.
The changes will take place on a phased basis over the next 2-3 years, and existing postal voters will be contacted by their Electoral Registration Officer when they need to re-apply.
