Information on the Postal Vote Reapplication process from FDC

Following changes introduced by the Elections Act 2022, postal voters are now required to reapply for their postal vote every three years.

All postal voters who made their current application before 31 October 2023 are required to reapply for their postal vote by 31 January 2026.

If a new application is not received by this date the Electoral Registration Officer is required by law to cancel the postal vote and electors will have to vote in a polling station until a new postal vote application is received or if a proxy is appointed.

To vote in a polling station all electors are now required to bring in an accepted form of Voter ID on the day.

All those affected by this change will be contacted in the coming weeks explaining how to reapply. We will be sending an initial email to all electors we hold an email address for, which will be sent from elections@election.fenland.gov.uk
