Proxy voting

Voting by proxy is a convenient way of voting if you are unable to get to the polling station. The term 'by proxy' just means that you appoint someone you trust to vote on your behalf.

Voting by proxy can be useful if, for any reason, you are unable to vote in person and do not wish to vote by post.

Appointing a proxy

If you appoint a proxy, you can still vote in person as long as your proxy has not already done so or has not been granted a postal vote for you.
