Poll cards issued for Police and Crime Commissioner Elections 2016

The Warwickshire Police and Crime Commissioner election takes place on Thursday 5 May 2016 and poll cards notifying residents of the election are being sent out next week.

The poll cards inform residents across Warwickshire where their polling station is and when they can vote, from 7am until 10pm.

To be able to vote at these elections residents must either be on the electoral register or have applied to be so by Monday 18 April.  Please contact Stratford District Council's Elections Office on 01789 260208 to check you are on the electoral register at your current address.

Postal votes are available to any resident who is on the electoral register. These are especially useful for those that are unable to get to a polling station on polling day due to health reasons, or who are perhaps on holiday or working away.

All completed applications forms for postal votes must be submitted before 5pm on Tuesday 19 April 2015 and you must be on the electoral register to apply*.

For all elections enquiries please contact Stratford District Council's election office on 01789 260208.
