What happens if I am unable to vote in person at an election?

You can apply to vote by post or get someone (a proxy) to vote for you on the day of election.

New arrangements allow you to apply for a postal vote or for a proxy vote at any elections. You do not need a reason to apply for a postal vote, but to apply for a proxy you must have a particular reason, for example if you are ill or away from home during the election.
