Postal votes can be delivered by hand to the Council Offices at Pippbrook, but must not be left in letterboxes or on desks.
Changes to the law mean any postal votes not returned via Royal Mail must be accompanied by a return form which can be obtained from the Electoral Services Team, which you will be asked to complete when you deliver your postal vote. We must reject any postal votes which are hand delivered without the form being completed. You may still have time to return your postal vote through the Royal Mail system. Postal votes must reach the Returning Officer by 10pm on polling day. If you miss the post, you can hand in your postal vote at the council offices during office hours (9am-5pm) to a person authorised to receive postal votes who will give you the form which you must complete.
Reception is open from 9am to 2.30pm Monday to Friday. Between 2.30pm and 5pm (Monday to Friday), please call the Electoral Services team on 01306 879198.
On polling day, you can hand postal votes in to the Council Offices (9am to 5pm) or at any polling station for the relevant District Ward before 10pm on Thursday 2 May 2024. Again, you will be supplied with a form by a person authorised to receive postal votes. You must complete this form otherwise, your vote will be rejected.
By law, you can only hand in your own postal vote, and those of up to five others.
Postal ballot papers will be sent in two tranches. It is important to apply as soon as you can to ensure your ballot paper is posted to you at the earliest opportunity. Those who already have postal voting arrangements in place are automatically included in the earliest posting.
Please note, we are unable to move any postal ballot papers from one tranche into another. If the dates below do not align with your circumstances, you may wish to appoint someone else to vote on your behalf instead.
Your application must be submitted, and approved, by: | To be despatched via 1st Class post on: |

The deadline to apply for a proxy vote is 5pm, Wednesday 24 April 2024.
If you require a permanent proxy voting arrangement, please contact us to arrange this as you will not be able to apply for this online.
We can send a paper application to you, but please be aware that you will need to allow time for this to be posted to you, then returned to us. You can scan or photograph your application to vote by post to electoral.registration@molevalley.gov.uk We will be able to accept it as long as the image, including the signature, is clear.
Voters, including those acting as a proxy, must present a suitable form of photographic identification to the polling station staff when they collect a ballot paper.
There is a prescribed list of accepted forms of ID which can be viewed on the Electoral Commission’s website.
If you present ID that is not on this list, the polling station staff will inform you that they are unable to accept it and will ask you to present suitable ID. You may be asked to return to the polling station later in the day if you do not have suitable ID with you.
If you do not own a suitable form of ID, you can apply for a free Voter Authority Certificate. This can be used as identification when you attend the polling station. You can apply for a Voter Authority Certificate online via https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-voter-authority-certificate
