Voting by post and proxy voting
-
If you are unable to vote in person you can apply to vote by post or you can appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf.
Postal Voting
If you choose to vote by post your ballot papers will be posted to you approximately 10 days before the election. You then simply mark your vote on the ballot paper, complete the postal vote statement with your date of birth and signature and then post this back to us.
-
Each time you vote by post you will be required to provide your date of birth and your signature on the postal vote statement that will accompany your ballot paper(s). These details will then be checked against the date of birth and signature on your original application form.
-
It is possible to have your ballot papers delivered to any address other than your home address provided that you state the reason for this.
-
If you apply to vote by post you will not be able to vote in person at the polling station.
-
Proxy Voting
-
If you choose to appoint a proxy (someone to vote for you) that person will vote on your behalf at the polling station for your address. You or your proxy can vote, but not both. If your proxy is unable to get to your polling station they may apply to vote on your behalf by post.
-
If you have any questions or wish to request an application to vote by post or by proxy please contact the Election Services Office.
