Postal ballot packs sent to anonymously registered electors must be sent in an envelope or covering that does not disclose that the elector is registered anonymously.1
You should send postal ballot packs to anonymously registered electors in a plain outgoing envelope. The postal voting statement must also omit the elector’s name.2
As part of your preparations for the issue of postal votes, you should agree with your printers a process that will enable you to do this.
The ERO’s records of granted applications will include the address to which the anonymous elector has requested that their postal vote should be sent.
