If you will be away on polling day, at work or on holiday, are physically unable or just don't have the time to get to a polling station to vote in person, you can still exercise your democratic right to vote. You may have moved house since the electoral register was drawn up and have not yet joined the register at your new address.

You can choose either to vote by post or to appoint someone else - a proxy - to vote on your behalf.

To find out more about voting by post, please visit the Government's official site at:

http://www.postalvotes.co.uk

From this site, you can download an application form to vote by post; however Erewash Borough Council will send their own barcoded form for you to sign for added security.  You can send your requests to the council at the addresss below, or email your name and address to us and we will forward your request on your behalf.
