Proxy votes

If you are unable to vote on election day you can nominate another person to vote on your behalf.

This is called a proxy vote as you can nominate another person, or proxy, to vote for you.

The person you have chosen must be eligible to vote in an election and you can only apply for a proxy vote as long as you are on the electoral register.

Some residents may not be able to vote for several reasons, including ill-health or employment commitments, and you will need to provide a reason when you apply for a proxy vote.

For further information on proxy voting please visit the aboutmyvote.co.uk website or contact our Electoral Services on 01934 634 909.
