If you applied by 10 June, it’s in the post and will be with you soon.

If you applied for one between 11 – 19 June it will be sent out by the weekend.

If you applied up to 10 June and you haven’t received your postal vote by Friday (28 June) at the latest please email ero@dundeecity.gov.uk and we will consider issuing a replacement.

Please return your postal vote as soon as possible, through either:
