Postal voting
If you are registered to vote but can't vote in person on the day of an election, you can vote by post. You can do this for a single election or indefinitely.
How to apply for a postal vote
Postal vote applications, as well as further guidance, are available online from the Electoral Commission’s website.
You must apply for your postal vote before the application deadline date.
Your postal vote will then be sent to your specified address before the election.
Your postal vote must be received before close of poll at 10pm on election day.
Postal votes can be sent overseas, but you must make sure you have time to receive and return your vote. If you think this may be difficult, a proxy vote - where you appoint someone to cast your vote for you - could be more suitable.
Return your postal vote application by post or in-person to:
Electoral Services Office
Watford Borough Council
Town Hall
Watford
WD17 3EX
Or as a scanned email attachment to the Elections team.
If returning in person, please check the Town Hall opening hours.
