BY-ELECTION - 6 JUNE 2013

WOLLATON WEST WARD

The deadline for new applications to vote by post or to change existing postal or proxy arrangements e.g. cancellation or re-direction, must reach the Electoral Registration Officer no later than 5.00pm on Tuesday 21 May 2013 to be effective for the Wollaton West Ward by-election.

Prior to the election you will be sent a polling card advising you of your postal voting arrangements.

You will then be sent your postal vote through the post approximately 10 days before the election. It will include your ballot paper, a ballot paper envelope, a postal voting statement and a return envelope.

You mark your ballot paper in secret and seal it up in the ballot paper envelope, then complete the postal voting statement by entering your date of birth and signing it. You must make sure the statement is completed properly or it may make your vote invalid.

Proxy voting

Alternatively you can arrange a proxy vote, where you nominate someone to vote at the polling station on your behalf. Please click here for further details on voting by proxy or to download an application form
