Poll cards for about 80,000 voters in the Selby and Ainsty constituency for next month’s parliamentary by-election will be dropping through letterboxes this week.

Anyone still not registered to vote has until midnight on Tuesday, 4 July, to register, as this is the last date when applications will be accepted. Votes can be registered online.

The deadline to apply for a new postal vote, postal proxy vote or to make changes to existing postal or postal proxy votes is 5pm on Wednesday, July 5. The deadline for a new proxy application is 5pm on Wednesday, 12 July.

The deadline for a voter authority certificate for voters without photographic ID is 5pm on Wednesday, 12 July. Apply for a voter authority certificate online.

The by-election on Thursday, 20 July, is being held after MP Nigel Adams announced his resignation from the Selby and Ainsty parliamentary seat, which he has held since 2010.
