The Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner election takes place on Thursday 2 May 2024, just over a week away. 

As a reminder, if  you are hand-delivering your postal vote at either the Civic Centre or at the Polling Station on 2 May 2024 – you will be provided with a Return Form which must be completed to accompany your postal vote. 

Due to new legislation, any postal vote left at any council building (or elsewhere) without the relevant form being completed will be rejected.

Unfortunately we have had a few put through the letterbox at the Civic Centre, which regrettably have been rejected.

If you are dropping off your postal vote at the Civic Centre in Littlehampton you will need to visit during opening hours to complete the form, these are:

Monday - 9am to 4pm

Tuesday – 9am to 4pm

Wednesday – 11am to 4pm (we open later on this day, for staff training)

Thursday - 9am to 4pm

Friday – 9am to 4pm

(Closed on Saturday and Sunday)

Another thing to remember is you can only hand in your own postal vote and those of up to five others.

Unfortunately we have had 5 put through the letterbox at the Civic Centre which have now got to be rejected.
