Postal Votes now need to be renewed every 3 years

New rules for absent voting mean that postal votes will need to be renewed every 3 years.

In West Berkshire, there are currently 19,000 people whose vote is due for renewal by the end of January 2026. The Council's Elections Team will be contacting those people this week, either by email or letter.
