Clacton by-election
Make your vote count.
Three steps. All of them free. Nothing on this page stands between you and gov.uk.
Check you are registered
It takes about five minutes and you need it done before the deadline. If you have moved, changed your name, or are not sure, do it again to be safe.
Apply for a postal vote
Vote from your kitchen table, in your own time, no queue and no weather. Ideal if getting to a polling station is difficult. You apply once through gov.uk.
Vote on polling day
Polling day: Date to be confirmed. If you are voting in person in England you now need accepted photo ID. No ID? Apply free for a Voter Authority Certificate on gov.uk.
