New rules mean all postal vote applications are now only valid for a maximum of three years. Those who applied for a postal vote before 30 January 2024, will need to reapply by 31 January 2026 to continue voting by post.
The quickest way to renew is online via Apply for a postal vote – GOV.UK. People can also download a paper form from the Electoral Commission or request one via the following contact form (select ‘Other Service’).
The City Council will be contacting voters by email where possible. Look out for messages from electoral.services@exeter.gov.uk with the subject line Exeter City Council – Postal Vote Renewal Notice.
If the Council doesn’t have a voter’s email address, or doesn’t receive a response, a letter will be sent in the post.
