If you are registered to vote but won’t be available or don’t want to vote at a polling place on Thursday 23 May, you can apply for either a postal vote (where you receive your ballot paper in the post, complete it at home and return by post) or a proxy vote (where someone casts your vote on your behalf at the polling place).

The deadline to apply for a postal vote is 5pm on Wednesday 8 May 2019.

The deadline to apply for a proxy vote is 5pm on Wednesday 15 May 2019.
