Please note that in light of Government guidance around Coronavirus, the Electoral Services Unit is currently working from home.  Wherever possible, please avoid posting documents to us and use electronic communication instead.

You can apply for one election, a set period of time or permanently.

If you opt for a permanent postal vote you are still be legally required to refresh your signature every five years to make sure we have a copy of your current signature. We will contact you when it is time to do so.​
