POSTAL voters across Solihull are being called on to reapply to continue to vote by post in future elections.
As a result of national changes, postal voters are now required to renew their application to vote by post every three years.
This means that postal voters who applied for a permanent postal vote before October 31, 2023 and want to continue voting by post will need to reapply before the deadline on January 31, 2026.
Solihull Council will contact affected postal voters by email.
To help check if the email is genuine, emails will be sent from [email protected], and will be titled Postal vote expiry– message from Solihull Council.
If not email was provided Solihull Council said it will contact voters by post.
Residents can reapply for their postal vote online here.
Anyone who is not able to complete an application online can download a paper application.
Completed forms can be emailed to [email protected] or sent in the post to Electoral Services, Solihull Council, Manor Square, Solihull B91 3QB.
Applications require residents to upload a photo of their handwritten signature in black ink on plain white paper, alongside the applicant’s name, address, date of birth, and national insurance number.
Residents are invited to make their new application early to ensure their postal vote is in place in plenty of time for the next scheduled local elections in Solihull in May 2026.
Those who do not reapply by the January deadline will have their postal vote cancelled.
