It's easy to allow someone else to vote on your behalf. This is
known as a proxy vote.
You can appoint someone to vote on your behalf at your usual
polling station.
You have to provide a reason to vote by proxy for a single
election. You can only vote by proxy on an indefinite basis for the
following reasons: physical incapacity, overseas voter, studying at
university and certain occupations such as Armed Forces.
You need to tell your proxy which candidate or candidates you
wish to vote for.
If you change your mind and wish to vote in person, you can
still do so, providing that your proxy has not already voted on
your behalf.
If you wish to use a proxy vote, you must first register to
vote. Find out how to register to vote
