Request your replacement ballot paper now
Most members should have received a ballot paper for our industrial action ballot. If you haven’t had it 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 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.
You should by now have received your ballot paper in the post. The envelope is clearly marked with the PCS logo and the CES logo (Civica Election Services) and the words PCS NATIONAL BALLOT PAPER ENCLOSED.
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.
You should allow 12 working days for your new ballot paper to arrive.
Moved house?
If you have changed your address recently using PCS Digital, a new ballot paper will not automatically be produced so you will need to request a replacement via PCS Digital to be sent to your new address.
Lost your ballot paper?
If you have received your ballot paper but have lost it, 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
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 to gauge turnout and to remind members who haven’t voted.
