Elections - proxy votes
Voting by proxy means appointing someone to vote for you in your polling station.
You need to tell your proxy which candidate(s) you wish to vote for.
You have to provide a reason to vote by proxy for a single election. You can only vote by proxy on an indefinite basis for the following reasons: physical incapacity, overseas voter, studying or on a journey by sea or air, and certain occupations e.g. Armed Forces.
If you change your mind and wish to vote in person, you can still do so, providing that your proxy has not already voted on your behalf.
If your proxy cannot get to your polling station, they can apply to vote by post. However, you will not then be able to vote in person.
