Postal and proxy voting

If you are on the electoral register, you can apply to vote by post or nominate a proxy to vote at the polling station for you.

How to apply for a postal vote

If you are on the electoral register, you can vote by post instead of going to a polling station.

If you want to vote by post in this election you must apply no later than 5pm on Wednesday 17th April 2024. You can now apply for a postal vote online, to do this you will need:

  • the address where you are registered to vote
  • your National Insurance number
  • the date of this election which is Thursday 2nd May 2024 if you only want a one-off postal vote

You’ll also need to upload a photo of your handwritten signature in black ink on plain white paper. If you cannot do this, you may be able to apply for a 'postal vote signature waiver' when you apply using the link below.

Apply online to vote by post on GOV.UK

If you are not able to apply online, download a paper postal vote application form via GOV.UK. Complete the form and email or post it to your election office.
