Islanders can now apply for postal voting in this summer’s election.
Postal voting is an option available to all voters for the election, which takes place on Sunday 7 June 2026.
Once registered for postal voting, voters will be disqualified from voting in person at the polling station unless they take and complete the postal ballot papers originally sent to them.
Judicial greffier Rebecca Morely-Kirk said: “Postal voting ensures that every eligible islander can take part in our democratic process – even if life commitments mean it’s difficult to make it to the polling station on election day.
“Whether you are on-island or not, voters have the option to apply for postal voting.
“Every ballot cast strengthens Jersey’s democracy, and postal voting offers a convenient way to ensure your voice is heard and your vote counts.”
Completed, signed application forms must be received by the Judicial Greffe no later than midday on Thursday 30 April. Ballot papers will be sent out from mid-May.
Completed ballot papers must be returned in the sealed envelope provided to the Judicial Greffe by midday on Sunday 7 June to be included in the count.
