Residents who have opted for a postal vote should be aware that the system has changed.
Following the Elections Act 2022 anyone who has a postal vote is now required to re-apply every three years.
Electors who applied for a postal vote before 31 October 2023 will only be able to hold their postal vote until January 2026. They should re-apply by 31 January 2026 for a postal vote that will then last for another three year period.
Postal votes requests that were issued over three years ago will be automatically cancelled if they are not renewed.
Bexley residents who have previously held postal votes will shortly be sent a letter about the changes.
Residents who do not have electronic access should contact the Elections Team via email, elections.office@bexley.gov.uk with your full name and your full address to request an application form or telephone 0203 045 3615.
