Are YOU ready to vote? Registering to vote doesn’t have to be done at the last minute. Registering to vote can also help your credit score, as it helps lenders confirm your name and address.

More and more people are choosing to vote by post. It saves time getting to the polling station, it saves any uncertainty about the upcoming Voter ID requirements (remember that the new photographic driving licenses only last 10 years!), and it makes sure your voice is heard. Why leave it to chance on election day? To apply to vote by post, you need to download, print and fill in the postal vote application form, then send it to the electoral services team at Cherwell council. The address is:

Electoral Office, PO Box 720, Bodicote, Banbury, OX16 6LR

Alternatively you can scan and email forms to elections@cherwell-dc.gov.uk

You must return your postal vote application form by 5pm, 11 working days before the poll.
