Voters are required to re-apply for their postal vote every three years.
Following changes introduced by the Elections Act 2022, postal voters are now required to re-apply for their postal vote every three years.
All postal voters who made their current application on or before 30 January 2024 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. The new postal vote will be in place for a maximum of three years.
West Lindsey initially made contact with all affected postal voters between July and October 2025 by including a postal voting application form with the annual canvass communications. If you completed a postal voting application form that was sent to you during that period you will not need to apply again.

As part of your application, you will be required to provide your:
· Date of birth
· National Insurance Number
· Upload a photo or scanned copy of your handwritten signature in black ink on plain white paper.
