Postal vote renewal emails to be sent out to Ashford residents

Ashford Borough Council are currently emailing residents who applied for a postal vote before 31st October 2023 to encourage them to make a fresh application via the Government's website.

The emails will be sent from ashford.electoral.services@notifications.service.gov.uk.

When applying online, you will be asked to supply your date of birth, national insurance number and to upload a photo of your signature.

You can find guidance on uploading your signature on the Government website. 

If you do not wish to apply online, paper application forms will be sent out in December 2025 to all postal voters who have not submitted a new application.

If a new application is not received the Electoral Registration Officer is required by law to cancel the postal vote.

At this point, you will only be able to vote in person at a polling station until you make a new application to vote by post.
