If you did not apply for a postal vote but will be unable to vote in person, you may want to find out about applying to vote by proxy.
Proxy voting – appoint someone to cast your vote
A proxy vote is for when you cannot get to the polling station on polling day so you appoint somebody to cast your vote for you.
Your appointed person must be allowed to vote in UK elections and willing to vote for you.
You can only appoint someone to cast your vote if:
- You are an overseas or service voter
- You have a physical disability
- You are away from home due to work or a course
In all these cases (except if you are registered blind) you must ask someone to certify on your application that the reason is valid (for example, your doctor or employer).
You can contact the Elections Office for an application form or download one from the About My Vote website.
