Expiring Postal Votes
The maximum period a postal voting arrangement can last is now 3 years. After this, postal votes must be renewed, or they will automatically expire.
Information on the household canvass form sent to your address in September 2025 will tell you if your postal vote is due to expire.
All postal voters who made their current application before 31 October 2023 must make a new application for their postal vote by 31 January 2026 if they wish to continue to vote by post.
How can I respond?
The quickest and easiest way to renew is to apply for a postal vote online at GOV.UK.
