you will not be allowed to hand in more than five postal ballot packs for other electors plus your own (6 in total)
if a person hands in more than five postal ballot packs for other electors, all the postal votes (other than their own) will be rejected
anyone handing in postal votes will need to complete a ‘return of postal voting documents’ form
we can no longer accept postal votes left in the letterbox at the council offices
any postal votes which are left at any council building without the ‘return of postal voting documents’ form being completed will be rejected
we recommend that postal votes are returned to us via Royal Mail as soon as possible before polling day
