Planning your election campaign
Planning your election campaign
With Candidate Mail and Poll Card Mailing we’ll help you:
In each electoral region of the UK we have a dedicated Election Manager to give you support and ensure that your mail campaign runs smoothly. They will agree a date with you for delivering your campaign literature to Royal Mail. Candidates and political parties are responsible for ensuring campaign literature is taken to the correct Royal Mail office on time. Our Election Support Team can advise of our drop-off points. Collections are available for an extra fee.
Contact your Account Manager for more information
