Urgent information about postal votes in the Borough of Broxbourne

The Council has been made aware that an error had been made by the company that carries out the printing of postal ballot papers on the Council’s behalf, despite correct proofs having been checked and signed off by the elections team prior to printing.
This has affected postal votes in eight of the ten wards of the Borough:

  • Broxbourne and Hoddesdon South
  • Cheshunt South and Theobalds
  • Cheshunt North
  • Flamstead End
  • Hoddesdon North
  • Hoddesdon South and Rye Park
  • Waltham Cross
  • Wormley and Turnford
There are two wards unaffected by the error:
  • Goffs Oak
  • Rosedale and Bury Green

The Returning Officer has a duty to administer the election in accordance with the law. Following advice from the Electoral Commission, the decision was taken to re-issue the ballot papers to voters in the affected wards. These replacement postal vote ballot papers were sent to affected voters via Royal Mail on Monday 22 April and should be received from Wednesday 24 April.

If you are a postal voter in one of the affected  wards, you are advised to destroy the original ballot papers you received and return the replacement ones as soon as they arrive. If you have already submitted your postal vote, you will need to do so again. 

The Council is doing everything it can to mitigate the impact of this error. The replacement papers have been clearly marked ‘REPLACEMENT’ and Royal Mail has been asked to prioritise the delivery and return of the replacement ballot papers.

The Council apologises for the inconvenience and confusion this may cause you. Residents with any concerns or queries can contact the Council’s helpline on 01992 785577 or the elections team on elections@broxbourne.gov.uk.
