Replacement ballot instructions

How to request a replacement ballot email or paper and when you’ll receive it.

Balloting emails have now been sent out to all members who have a personal email address registered with us.

If you haven’t had the email with voting instructions but your personal email address is registered with us and your employer is part of the ballot, please check your spam/junk folders before requesting a replacement. The email comes from pcs@cesvotes.com.

Replacement ballot papers/lost emails

If you accidentally delete the email or lose your paper ballot paper, you can request a replacement online by logging in to PCS Digital. The deadline for requesting a replacement is 5pm on Sunday 20 August.

How long does it take?

When requests are made on PCS Digital, they are sent over in batches to Civica, the independent scrutineer, for processing. Civica will make a series of checks before sending out a replacement email or ballot paper.

This means that depending on the volume of requests we receive and Civica’s workload, it can take up to 8 working days for a replacement email/ballot paper to be sent out.

However, as long as you request it by our deadline of 20 August you will receive a replacement.
