Proxy voting

If you are applying to vote by proxy, you are now required to provide your national insurance number as part of your application, this will be verified against government records. This is an anti-fraud measure to protect the integrity of the proxy voting system.

A new online application service has been set up and you can now apply online for a proxy vote.

You will only be able to act as a proxy for a maximum of four people. Of these four, the maximum number who can be ‘domestic electors’ (voters living in the UK) is two.

Please see the Proxy voting page for further information.
