For your convenience, you now have the right to vote by post. New arrangements allow anyone who is on the Register of Electors to apply for a postal vote at any election.
Different rules apply in Northern Ireland.
You can ask for a one-off postal vote in advance of any election. Alternatively, you can ask for an automatic postal vote on a permanent basis or for a set period. If you are not registered to vote, you can now register to vote throughout the year.
