Rutland County Council Offices will stay open until 7.00pm on Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd July, for postal vote returns.
Any Rutland and Stamford constituent whose postal vote has been lost, damaged or still to arrive should request a replacement from Rutland County Council by emailing: elections@rutland.gov.uk confirming:
- The voter’s registered address
- Phone number
- The name of voters in the household who need a replacement ballot
Anyone who is unable to email the Council should call: 01572 758 469 to provide this information.
Please reserve this phone line for those without internet access and do not call if you are able to email.
Postal voters who need a replacement postal ballot must contact Rutland County Council first, so that officers can prepare the ballot and confirm when it is ready. This can then be collected from the Council’s Catmose offices in Oakham (LE15 6HP). If you are unable to collect from the Council offices, please let officers know and they will arrange to hand deliver the ballot pack to you.
Anyone who is too late to return their postal vote through the mail can deliver it by hand to the Council’s offices, which will remain open until the later time of 7.00pm on Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd July for postal vote collections and returns.
Postal voters can return their own ballots together with those of up to five other electors but must hand them to an authorised member of staff, who will help to complete a return form.
Following a change in the law, postal votes that are not accompanied by a separate return form because they have been posted through the Council’s letter box or left unattended must be rejected.
Postal ballots can also be returned to a polling station in the Rutland and Stamford constituency area between 7.00am and 10.00pm on polling day (Thursday 4th July).
Please contact Rutland County Council by emailing: elections@rutland.gov.uk or calling: 01572 722 577 if you have any questions about your postal vote.
