Proxy votes
Proxy votes
A proxy vote is where an elector appoints someone that they trust to vote on their behalf. Both the elector and proxy voter must already be registered to vote and the proxy must have their own acceptable form of Photographic ID.
The deadline to apply for a proxy vote is 5pm on Wednesday 1 October. Applicants must already be registered to vote.
Apply for a proxy vote
Complete an application to vote by proxy form or call 01536 805115 if you need a paper copy.
Your nominated proxy must be eligible to vote in the election and will need to be able to vote in person at your polling station. They’ll need to take photographic ID with them in order to vote on your behalf. They can apply to cast their proxy vote by post, but in order for your proxy to vote by post, they must complete an application to vote by post and return it by the postal vote deadline Wednesday 24 September. Once a proxy has been appointed they will receive a letter and poll card to confirm the arrangement has been accepted. Both the letter and poll card are for information purposes only and do not need to be brought to the polling station in order to vote at the polling station, unless the elector is anonymous.
Where a proxy has been appointed to vote at a polling station, the elector can vote at the polling station instead - but only if the proxy has not already voted on their behalf.
Unexpected emergency situations
After 5pm on Wednesday 1 October until 5pm on polling day, voting by emergency proxy may be available but only under specific extenuating circumstances. If you have suffered a medical emergency, have been called away to work, or your intended Voter ID is lost, stolen, damaged or not received then you can apply to vote by emergency proxy.
If the situation occurs before this date then, you can register for a normal proxy vote. Certain applications to vote by emergency proxy must be attested by a medical professional or by your employer in the case of a medical emergency or because of being called away to work respectively.
If you believe you qualify and wish to vote by emergency proxy, then please contact the elections team on 01536 805115 or by emailing [email protected]. Applications to vote by emergency proxy must reach the team by 5pm on polling day in order to be considered for this election.
