Voting papers for the ERBID3 ballot are now arriving with eligible businesses across the English Riviera.

This important ballot gives businesses the opportunity to decide whether to secure five years of dedicated destination marketing funding, worth £3 million, to continue promoting and developing the English Riviera as a leading visitor destination.

If your business is eligible to vote, please look out for a first-class envelope marked 'Ballot Papers Enclosed' from Civica Election Services.

Voting closes on Thursday 25 June 2026, and we encourage businesses to return their ballot papers as soon as possible to avoid any postal delays and ensure their vote is counted.

The ERBID3 Business Plan outlines the proposed activity for the next five years, and it can be viewed from our ERBID3 page here.  This page also includes our new 'In Their Own Words' video, where local business owners share why they believe the English Riviera BID delivers value for the area and its businesses.  

The result of the ballot will be published on the ERBID3 page by Tuesday 30th June 2026.
