Vote by post or by proxy

Apply to vote by post or by proxy (someone else votes for you) if you cannot get to your polling station on election day.

Vote by post

Postal voting is where we send you your ballot paper around 10 days before the election.

You can apply to vote by post if you cannot get to your polling station for any reason.

Once a postal vote is set up you cannot vote in person at your polling station, unless you cancel your postal vote.

You can apply for a postal vote by 5pm, 11 working days before the election.

To vote by post, you must be registered to vote.

Post your completed form to our Electoral Services team.

You can also contact us to ask for a paper application form.

We must receive your cancellation request no later than 5pm, 11 working days before an election.

If you want to cancel your postal vote:

you must do so in writing
make sure you sign your request so that we can check this with your original application

We also accept scanned copy of the written request by email.
