If you are unable to vote in person, you can apply to vote by proxy (someone else voting on your behalf).

You can apply to vote by proxy for a particular election, for a set period of time, or for all future elections and there are specific types of application forms depending on your circumstances.

Look at the different application forms below and download the one that applies to you.

If your reason for applying is not listed below, I'm afraid you will not be able to apply to vote by Proxy so you may want to consider a postal vote instead. Here you will find information about voting by post.
