Postal ballot packs will be sent to electors from around two weeks before polling day.
Electors who registered close to the registration deadline and have applied for a postal vote close to or at the same time, will be issued with their postal ballot packs only once their postal vote application has been determined, even if their names have been added to the final register update on the fifth working day.
Electors will then mark their ballot paper, complete the postal voting statement by providing their signature and date of birth, and return them to the (Acting) Returning Officer before the close of poll (i.e. 10pm on polling day).
Candidates, election agents and postal voting agents are not entitled to attend the issue of postal votes.
