Postal Vote Renewals
For UK Parliamentary Elections you need to reapply for your postal vote at least every three years. They will expire on the 31st January in the year they run out. If your postal vote is due for renewal we will contact you. This will be well in advance of the expiry date and encourage you to respond and reapply as soon as possible to avoid any risk of your postal vote expiring.
Please note that if you are due to renew by the 31st January 2026 you will have or will shortly receive your postal vote renewal letter.
You can apply online for a UK Postal Vote Application. The two processes are separate so for this renewal you must select UK PARLIAMENTARY ONLY when going through the online application.
