Postal votes last up to 3 years.
If you applied for a postal vote before 30 January 2025, it will expire on 31 January 2027.
If your postal vote is affected, we will contact you between September and January to encourage you to reapply.
If you do not reapply your postal vote will expire and you will go back to voting in person. You can apply for a new postal vote at any time.
You’ll need:
- the address where you are registered to vote
- your National Insurance number or other identity documents, for example a passport
You’ll also need to upload a photo of your handwritten signature in black ink on plain white paper.
If you cannot apply online, download and fill in a postal vote application form. Send it to: Electoral Services, Civic Centre, The Water Gardens, College Square, Harlow CM20 1WG.
