If you haven't returned your postal vote yet, you can still deliver it to the district council house between 9am and 5pm, or any polling station between 7am & 10pm on election day (4 July 2024).

Please be aware however, that you will have to complete a form and you can't just leave it, or put it through our council house letter box. Filling in a form is a legal requirement and our staff have to ask you to complete it.

Our teams will work as fast as we can to serve you, however there may be a short wait at busy times. Thank you for your patience and understanding - we really appreciate it.
