The Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) sets out how voters who cannot vote on 4 November 2026 can apply for special votes. The IEC says applications open on 21 September.
The IEC outlines who qualifies, the application methods available to voters, and the key deadlines leading up to the election. The guidance is intended to help registered voters understand eligibility requirements and how to submit their applications in time if they are unable to attend their voting stations on election day.
