Completing a proxy vote
You'll need to tell your proxy who you want to vote for including:
- which candidate
- which party
Your proxy will need to go to your designated polling station on the election day (alternatively they can apply for a postal proxy vote, 11 working days in advance of the election).
Ahead of the election your proxy will receive a letter to take with them to your designated polling station, the letter:
- confirms their appointment as your proxy
- tells them where and when to vote on your behalf
- makes it easier for staff at the polling station to find the right ballot paper
Even if you've appointed a proxy, you can still vote in person, provided:
- you vote before your proxy has voted for you
- your proxy has not applied to vote for them by post
