HAND delivered postal votes will be given to residents in the Barnard Castle west, Ferryhill, Sherburn and Willington and Hunwick areas.
Durham County Council is advising voters that a previous batch of postal vote packs is no good due to incorrect numbers being printed on some forms.
Replacement packs will be delivered tomorrow (Friday, May 1) and everyone affected should have received one by the weekend.
Colette Longbottom, the council’s acting returning officer, said: “We would like to reassure people that there are only around 265 postal ballot packs believed to be affected.
“Anyone who has been sent one of these packs will receive a new one with a letter advising them to use the replacement. No other packs have been affected.”
Details can be obtained via the council on 03000-260000.
