Reapply for your postal vote today
Last updated: 10/11/2025
Local residents in Rushcliffe who applied for a postal vote on or before 30 January 2024 are being encouraged to reapply for their postal vote.
Under new rules brought in by the Elections Act 2022, a postal vote arrangement cannot last longer than three years.
Electors who applied for a postal vote on or before 30 January 2024 will need to reapply for their postal vote by January 31, 2026. Failure to reapply by this date will mean that Rushcliffe Borough Council (RBC) are required by law to cancel their postal vote.
RBC have already emailed affected electors for who they hold an email address for, encouraging them to reapply for their postal vote.
The quickest and easiest way to reapply for a postal vote is by submitting an application online using the Government website.
For the affected electors who are yet to reapply using the online service and for the affected electors who they do not hold an email address for, RBC will be sending paper forms by post to these electors in November 2025.
All postal vote applications must contain the applicant’s name, address, date of birth, National Insurance number and signature*.
*If someone is unable to provide a signature or a consistent signature (due to a disability or inability to read or write), they should contact RBC to ask for a signature waiver.
Any residents who have any questions can contact RBC’s Electoral Services team at elections@rushcliffe.gov.uk or by phoning 0115 981 9911.
