Are voting slips redirected royal mail

In the United Kingdom, voting slips, also known as postal votes, are indeed redirected by Royal Mail, but only under certain circumstances.

Here are the rules:

  1. Undeliverable postal votes: If a postal vote is sent to a voter but cannot be delivered due to an incorrect or incomplete address, Royal Mail will return the vote to the electoral registration officer (ERO) or the local authority responsible for conducting the election.
  2. Redirected postal votes: If a voter moves to a new address, they can update their address with the ERO or local authority. If a postal vote is sent to the old address, Royal Mail will redirect it to the new address, if possible.
  3. Lost or delayed postal votes: If a postal vote is lost or delayed in transit, the voter can contact the ERO or local authority to request a replacement vote. The ERO or local authority will then send a new postal vote to the voter.

Remember, it's essential to follow the instructions provided by the ERO or local authority when casting your postal vote to ensure that your vote is counted.
