Voting by postal vote
You will be sent a declaration envelope, a reply-paid envelope, one ballot paper. You can find instructions at the top of the ballot paper.
You should fill out the election ballot paper in secret. You can ask someone to help you, but this person should not tell you who to vote for and must not tell anyone how you voted without your consent.
Once you have filled out the ballot paper, put it in the declaration envelope and seal it. Signed the declaration envelope and ask a witness to sign it. Put the signed declaration envelope inside the reply-paid envelope with the return address visible in the window. Post the envelope as soon as you can back to the ECQ. You don’t need a stamp.
All postal votes must be completed by 6 pm on election day.
