HOW DO I VOTE BY POST?

1. When you get your postal voting papers

• Put them somewhere safe
• Don't let anyone else handle them
• Make sure they are not left where someone else can pick them up

2. When you want to vote

• Complete your ballot paper in secret, on your own
• Don't let anyone else vote for you
• Don't let anyone else see your vote
• Don't give the ballot paper to anyone else
• Put the ballot paper in the envelope and seal it up yourself
• Complete and sign the postal voting statement
• Put the postal voting statement and the envelope containing your ballot paper into the larger supplied envelope and seal it.

3. When you return your postal vote

• Take it to the post box yourself, if you can
• If you can't do that, either give it to somebody you know and trust to post it for you
• Don't hand it to a candidate or party worker unless no other way is practical
• Don't leave it where someone else can pick it up
