Voting by post

If you are unable to get to the polling station, you can apply to vote by post.

How to apply

  1. download and complete the postal vote application form (PDF)
    (you may need to get Adobe Reader to fill the form in)
  2. email your completed form to electoral.registration@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk

Please note: Email is not secure, so please ensure you take all appropriate precautions to protect any personal information.

You can also post the form to:

The deadline for receipt of a postal vote application for a specific election is by 5pm 11 working days before polling day.

For security, you’ll need to tell us your date of birth and sign the application. We’ll send you a postal voting statement with your ballot papers, and we check that the details are the same on your completed statement when you post it back.

Postal votes can only be issued to electors registered under Individual Electoral Register (IER).

If you register to vote by post, you won’t be able to vote at a polling station.
