Since the general election was called on 22 May, there have been around 2.9 million applications to register to vote in person. Around 633,000 of these were made on the final day to register.

However, for people who know they will be out of the country on the day of the election, or those who live abroad but have citizenship and a residence in the UK, can apply to vote by post.

Anyone in that situation at this election, or who merely cannot face the trudge to their local primary school to vote for their representative of choice, has just hours left to apply for a postal ballot paper. The deadline to apply for a postal vote in England, Scotland and Wales, is 5pm today (June 19).

You can apply online: www.gov.uk/apply-postal-vote

All you need is the address where you’re registered to vote; your National Insurance number (or another form of I'D like a passport); the specific date of the election for which you would like to vote by post.
