Ways to vote

Postal vote packs for the general election on Thursday 4 July, 2024 will be sent out from Thursday 20 June by Royal Mail.

If you're a postal voter and have not received your postal vote pack please don't contact us until after Friday 28 June, to give Royal Mail sufficient time to get them to you. If you still haven't received it after 28 June please contact elections@swale.gov.uk.

Completed postal votes must be received no later than 10pm on Thursday 4 July.

If you do not wish to post your completed pack using Royal Mail, it may be handed in at a polling station in Swale on Thursday 4 July. There is now a limit to the number of postal votes that can be handed in by an elector at a polling station or Council offices. This is five, plus the elector’s own postal vote, and a Postal Vote Return Form must be completed.

Please do not post your completed pack in the letter boxes at Council offices as they will be automatically rejected.
