Due to changes in legislation, some electors who have had a postal vote for more than 3 years before 31 January 2026, now have to reapply to vote by post at UK Parliamentary elections only. We are contacting electors between now and September 2025 to encourage early reapplication before the 31 January 2026 deadline.

Further information can be found on the Scottish Assessors website or by calling the ERO on 0800 393 783.
