This is when you have someone else vote on your behalf.
Before you start
Ask your proxy’s permission before you apply.
You’ll need:
- your National Insurance number or any other identity document, for example a birth certificate
- the address where your proxy is registered to vote
- contact details for your proxy
You’ll also need to upload a photo of your handwritten signature in black ink on plain white paper.
If you cannot provide a signature or one that always looks the same, you may be able to apply for a proxy vote signature waiver within the service.
Other ways to apply
If you cannot apply online, download and fill in a proxy voting application form. Send it to your local Electoral Registration Office.
If you cannot sign a printed form, contact your local Electoral Registration Office.
