Residents who vote by post

Anyone who votes by post is now required to reapply for their postal vote every three years.

The deadline to reapply for your postal vote is 31 January 2026. If you have not reapplied by this date, your postal vote will be cancelled.

Anyone who has a postal vote in place in the All Saints and Woodloes ward before 31 January 2026 will receive a postal poll card, because at the time of printing them, the postal vote was still in place.

If your postal vote is then cancelled because you have not reapplied by the deadline, you will receive another poll card with details of your polling station so you can vote in person if you wish to do so.

If your postal vote is cancelled, you can reapply after the 31 January deadline, but in order to be a postal voter in this by-election you will need to reapply by no later than 5pm on Wednesday 11 February 2026.

Warwick District Council will be making further contact with anyone in this ward that has not yet reapplied for their postal vote.
