How do I vote?

You can choose which way you want to vote in elections – either in person at a polling station, by post or you can ask somebody you trust to vote on your behalf (your proxy) by post or in person.

You can vote in person at your allocated polling station 

You will receive a poll card prior to the election telling you where your polling station is located.  The poll card also confirms that you are registered to vote so do not need to register again.  You do not need to take your poll card with you when you vote but it can help to speed up the process if you do so.

You can apply to vote by post or by proxy using the links below
