Proxy voting
This information is for people who are acting as a proxy to vote on behalf of someone else.
Before you vote you should find out which candidate (or referendum outcome) the person wants to vote for.
You’ll need to vote at the polling station where the person you’re a proxy for usually votes. The polling station location is printed on the proxy poll card.
You’ll need to show photo ID to vote. You do not need to show the ID of the person you are the proxy for.
Postal proxy vote
If you cannot get to the polling station of the person you are a proxy for, you can apply to vote as a proxy by post.
