Postal Vote

Who can apply for a postal vote?

Anyone who is registered to vote.

How do I get a postal vote?

You can call 01282 477261 or 01282 477263 or email democracy@burnley.gov.uk to request a personalised application form.

For what period does my postal vote last?

You can apply for just one election, for a specific time period, or for a permanent postal vote.

If I have applied for a postal vote, can I still vote at the polling station?

If you have applied to vote by post, you cannot vote in person at the polling station.  However, on election day you can return you postal vote to the polling station (before 10pm) or to your local electoral registration office (before they close) if you do not want to post it or it is too late to post it.
