Voting as an overseas elector
When you have registered to vote, the default setting will be that you vote in-person at a polling station in York. You may need to complete a second application form to tell us which method you want to vote by.
Proxy Voting
If you're not based in the UK you can appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf. As an Overseas Elector we would advise that you apply to vote by proxy if possible.
Postal Vote
If you're registered as an overseas elector you can apply for a postal vote. You'll need to ensure that you have time to receive and return your ballot papers by 10.00pm on polling day. If you choose a postal vote and there’s any issue with it arriving to you on time, you cannot change your method of voting. By law, all postal votes must be posted out, they cannot be emailed to you.
See information from the Electoral Commission on voting if you live overseas.
