Postal voting

If you are unable to attend a polling station on polling day, you can register to vote by post.

Postal ballot packs can be sent to any address, including overseas. These will usually be sent out about a week before election day. 

How do I register to vote by post?

The postal vote deadline is 5pm on Tuesday 18 April 2023. You will need to send your application to us by this deadline to vote in the 4 May 2023 elections. 

  1. Fill in the postal application form (PDF)
  2. Send your completed application form to: Electoral Services, Leicester City Council, City Hall, 115 Charles Street, Leicester, LE1 1FZ.

Or send your application as a scanned image by email to postal.voting@leicester.gov.uk.
