Postal vote renewals
If you have a postal vote, you need to renew your application every 3 years.
Who needs to reapply for a postal vote
If you applied for a postal vote before 31 October 2023, you must renew your application by 31 January 2026. After this period, postal votes will be valid for a maximum of 3 years before you need to apply again.
If you don’t renew your postal vote it will be cancelled on 31 January 2026 and you will need to vote in person at your polling station.
If you want to cancel your postal vote and vote at your polling station instead, email electoral.enquiries@southwark.gov.uk to tell us.
