Running electoral registration - Wales

You must notify the person in writing that their absent vote has been removed. The notice must:1  

• explain that their absent vote has been removed because of a failure to provide a fresh signature
• explain that if they wish to vote for that type of poll in the future, they can only do so at a polling station and inform them of the location of their polling station
• explain that they can make a fresh absent vote application, which must include their identifiers

The notice must also set out that they have a right to appeal your decision and set out how an appeal may be made.

A postal voter who has received a postal vote identifier rejection notice may make a request to see their postal voting statement. More information about the inspection of postal vote identifier rejection notices can be found in our FAQs for postal vote rejection notices resource:

We have also produced template postal vote rejection notices which you could use.
