Proxy vote

If you have become aware that you are unable to go to the polling station to vote only after-the proxy vote deadline has passed you may be able to apply for an emergency proxy vote if any of the following apply

• you cannot vote in person because of a medical emergency or disability
• you cannot vote in person because of your employment
• the photo ID you were planning on using to vote has been lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed
• you have not yet received a new or replacement photo ID you have ordered

You have until 5pm on the day of the election to apply for an emergency proxy vote.

Fill in the relevant paper form

• apply to vote by emergency proxy based on your employment
• apply to vote by emergency proxy based on a medical emergency or disability
• apply to vote by emergency proxy because you do not have an available photo ID

If you are applying for an emergency proxy vote because of a medical emergency, disability or your employment, your application form must be signed by an ‘appropriate person’ (for example your employer or a doctor).

Completed forms must be emailed for quickness to Electoral Services Team at elec.services@runnymede.gov.uk or by post to the Civic Offices.
