1. Do not open the postal vote envelope unless it is addressed to you. Remember, it is an offence to use a ballot paper addressed to another person.

2. Contained in your pack will be: - Two ballot papers (Constituency MSP ballot paper (lilac) and Regional MSPs ballot paper (peach)) - A postal voting statement attached to a ballot paper envelope (A) - A white return envelope (B) - An instruction leaflet.

3. Read the instruction leaflet carefully. Check that the ballot paper number on your postal voting statement matches the number on the back of the ballot paper. Complete your postal voting statement by signing and adding your date of birth in the boxes provided. If you have a signature waiver there will be no signature box. A power of attorney cannot sign a postal vote.
