Don’t forget to return postal votes for 4 May elections

Published: 24 April 2023

People who registered for a postal vote in the City Council elections are being reminded to make sure they complete the paperwork and post their vote back as soon as they are able to.

Everyone who applied for a postal vote should receive it in the next couple of days.

Voters need to fill in the necessary paperwork and send in their vote ahead of Election Day on Thursday 4 May.

Anyone who has a postal vote will not be able to vote at a polling station, even if they do not use their postal vote.

Completed postal votes can, if necessary, be handed in at your polling station on the day of the election.
