Running electoral registration - Wales

The notification must:1  

• inform the postal voter of the date that their entitlement to vote by post at UK Parliamentary elections and subsequent Police and Crime Commissioner elections will end
• contain information about how to make a fresh application to vote by post for UK Parliamentary elections and subsequent Police and Crime Commissioner elections 

You should also include information to explain the following:

• the types of polls at which the person would no longer be able to vote by post if they do not re-apply 
• that their current arrangement ending does not prevent the elector from re-applying for a postal vote at a later date 
• how the required signature and date of birth are used to assist in deterring misuse of the entitlement to vote by post
• the circumstances in which the signature requirement may be waived 

You can also include additional information about postal voting arrangements at other polls. For example, where they do not already have a postal vote arrangement in place for other polls, the process for applying for one or an explanation about what a re-application for UK Parliamentary elections and subsequent Police and Crime Commissioner elections mean for their eligibility to continue to vote by post for other polls.

You must send the notification to the current or last known address of the postal voter or proxy who votes by post.2  

You should keep a record of the name of each person you have sent a notification to, the address to which you sent it, and the date of the notification.
