If you are unable to vote in person you can appoint someone to vote on your behalf.
Voting by proxy means you nominate a person to vote on your behalf at your designated polling station. If your nominated proxy can't attend your polling station, the appointed proxy can apply to vote by post (postal proxy vote).
Your nominated proxy:
- must be registered to vote and qualify to vote in the Election (UK Parliamentary Election)
- may act as a proxy for a maximum of four electors of which no more than two can be for 'domestic' electors - i.e. not an overseas elector nor a service voter.
- must have valid voter ID if voting in person at the polling station.
Application forms can be obtained from the Electoral Registration Office or on the Electoral Commission homepage (opens new window).
