Ways to vote

Voting by post

Apply for a postal vote

If you’re registered to vote, you can apply to vote by post.

Visit the GOV.UK website to apply for a postal vote.

When applying online, you will be asked to provide your National Insurance number and to upload a clear photograph of your signature. If you cannot provide this number, we will ask you for documentary evidence to confirm your identity (for example, a copy of your passport, photo driving license, EEA identity card or biometric immigration document).

If you need help filling out the online form, visit one of our libraries where staff will be happy to help.

To request a paper application form, email us at postal.votes@southwark.gov.uk. Completed paper application forms should be returned to:

Electoral Services
Southwark Council
PO Box 64529
London
SE1P 5LX

Cancel a postal vote

You can cancel your postal vote up to 11 working days before an election.

To cancel your postal vote, email Electoral Services at postal.votes@southwark.gov.uk. Please tell us your full name and address, and the date from which you wish to cancel your postal vote.
