Postal Voters: You May Need to Reapply

Please see the following message from Electoral Services aDartford Borough Council

Following changes introduced by the Elections Act 2022, postal voters are now required to reapply for their postal vote every three years.

Previously postal voters had to provide a refreshed signature if the signature on record was five years or older.

All postal voters who made their current postal application before January 30, 2024 are required to reapply for their postal vote by January 31, 2026.

If a new application is not received by this date the Electoral Registration Officer is required by law to cancel the postal vote. Electors will still be registered to vote and will revert to voting at their local polling station.

Electors will be advised that their postal vote has been cancelled by email or post after January 31, 2026.
