To set up a postal vote you need to first be registered to vote. If you are not registered or you are not sure if you are, you can register online on the GOV.UK website. Alternatively, you can call our contact centre on 0161 793 2500 and they can tell you if you are registered and advise further.
When you are registered for postal voting, this means that any ballot papers for the elections will be sent to you via the postal service a couple of weeks before election day and you return them the same way in a pre-paid envelope included with your postal pack.
If you forget to send your postal vote back in time, you can hand deliver it to any polling station in Salford before 10pm on Thursday 4 May 2023.
If you haven’t received your postal pack ten days before the election, please contact our customer contact centre on 0161 793 2500 during office hours.
You can either email a scanned image of the form or a clear photograph, showing the full page, to elections@salford.gov.uk, or post to our Freepost address:
