Postal Voting

Postal voting is one of three ways you can vote in the June 2026 Election.

You can also vote at a polling station on the day of the election (details of polling stations locations will be published in April 2026) or at the early voting station at St Paul’s Centre.

Postal voting is available to all voters and offers a convenient and flexible way to participate in the democratic process.

It is a convenient option for voters who may be travelling, have mobility challenges, or prefer the flexibility of voting from the comfort of their own home. Voting by post is a great option for students from Jersey who are studying off-Island and do not want to miss out. It ensures your voice is heard, even if you cannot attend the polling station in person.

Once you’ve applied to vote by post:

If you applied to vote by post before the 12 noon deadline on 30 April 2026:

  • Ballot papers and a ballot paper envelope will start being sent out from mid-May. Mark an ‘x’ in the box alongside the name(s) of your preferred candidate(s), or ‘none of the candidates’ if this is available and your preferred option (see previous explanation).
  • Put the ballot paper inside the return envelope and post it back to the Judicial Greffe, to be received no later than 12 noon on Sunday 7 June 2026.

Important:

  • Once registered for postal voting, you will be disqualified from voting in person at the polling station unless you use your postal ballot papers that were originally sent to you at the polling station. No additional ballot papers will be provided at the polling station.
  • If your address changes after applying for a postal vote, it is your responsibility to inform the Judicial Greffe by emailing VotingApplications@courts.je or calling +44 1534 441300.

If you miss the postal voting deadline

Islanders who do not register for a postal vote by Thursday 30 April 2026 can still vote in person at the Pre‑Poll Voting Station at St Paul’s Centre.
