You need to decide if you wish to have a proxy vote:-

for all elections held between two dates (you may be on holiday or otherwise unable to vote

in person at a polling station between these dates.

Section 4

You can choose to vote by proxy at all types of elections, for parliamentary elections only, or for

local elections only. If you are unsure, then we would recommend that you choose to vote at ‘All’

elections as you may lose your right to vote for one type of election if multiple elections are held on

the same day.

Section 6

You must enter your date of birth in the format DD/MM/YYYY and then sign the form. Please note

that your date of birth and signature must be kept within the borders provided. Failure to do so will

mean this application will not be valid.

You must give a reason for you application. Depending on the reason you may need to get

someone qualified to support that what you say on your application is correct. If you are applying

just for one election (Section 7A) for whatever reason, or in receipt of



a higher rate of mobility component of a disability living allowance



the enhanced rate of the mobility component of the personal independence payment

(Section 7B(i) and (ii)), then you do not need to get anyone to support your application.

If you are otherwise applying because of a physical incapacity you need to get a doctor, registered

nurse or Christian Science practitioner to support your application.

If you are applying due to the nature of your occupation or employment, of if you are attending an

educational establishment, your application must be supported by someone authorised to sign on
