Important information if you already have a postal vote

Under the Elections Act 2022, postal votes are valid for three years (not five years).

If your postal vote is due to expire, we'll contact you by email or letter to ask you to reapply. 

If you get an email it will be sent from electoral.services.canterbury.city.council@notifications.service.gov.uk. Any replies to the email will show as going to electoral.services@canterbury.gov.uk. 

You can reapply for your postal vote using the button on this page.

If you do not reapply, you'll need to vote in person at future elections. Find out more information on our newsroom.
