You will need to put in place arrangements for the delivery of postal ballot packs. You have a choice of two methods:1
by hand
by post
Whichever method you choose, you should ensure that you have a detailed plan covering all actions required to achieve the successful delivery of postal ballot packs. For more information see our guidance on working with mail delivery partners.
The Convenor of the EMB may direct or recommend that arrangements be made for postal votes to be issued by first class post.2
As part of your integrity planning for the election, you should inform your police single point of contact (SPOC) of the date you will start dispatching postal ballot packs to electors. This will mark the date from which there is a higher risk of potential postal voting fraud and they should build this into their own planning.
