Voting by proxy vote (appointing someone to vote on your behalf) at this year’s County Council elections

Authored on

A proxy vote allows you to appoint another person to vote on your behalf, either at a polling station or by post. 

The deadline for receiving new applications to vote by proxy is 5pm on Wednesday 23 April.

If you applied for a proxy vote before 31 October 2023, this expired on 31 January 2024 and you need to apply for a new one.

You and your proxy must both be registered to vote in the UK before you can apply.

You can apply for a proxy vote by visiting the Apply for a proxy vote pages of the GOV.UK website.
