Still time to get a replacement ballot paper

If you haven’t had your ballot paper for our national ballot or have lost it, here’s what to do.

Our ballot for strike action in support of our national campaign on pay, pensions justice and job protection opened on 18 March. PCS members working for 171 employers (excluding the Scottish Government Sector) are involved in the ballot. Check on our list if where you work is included.

The ballot closes on 13 May and you can only vote by post.

It’s vital that you vote and send a message to the government that we are prepared to fight to have our demands met. To enable us to take strike action, the law requires a minimum of 50% of members to vote.

If you haven’t received your ballot paper, you can request a replacement via PCS Digital before noon on Sunday 28 April.

If you have recently joined PCS, please allow 12 working days from your date of joining for your ballot paper to arrive.

Please allow 12 working days for your new ballot paper to arrive.

Lost your ballot paper?

If you have received your ballot paper but have lost it, or it has been damaged, you can also request a replacement via PCS Digital.

If you request a replacement but then find the original, it doesn’t matter which you use and your vote will only count once.

New members

If you aren’t yet a member join online by noon on Sunday 21 April to get a vote. You will be added to the ballot automatically and don’t need to request a ballot paper.

Tell us you’ve voted and posted

When you’ve completed and posted your ballot paper, please log in to PCS Digital and tell us you’ve voted. This will enable us keep track of how many members are voting to ensure that we achieve the required turnout, and we can work on reminding members who haven’t voted.
