The deadline for appointing a Proxy (someone to vote on your behalf) has now passed. However if you are called away for work or for medical reasons you can apply for an emergency proxy.
An application for an emergency proxy can be made six days or less before Election day under the following circumstances:
- In the case of a medical condition, illness or disability arising after the deadline for ordinary proxy applications (i.e. 5pm on the sixth working day before the poll)
- If the person is a mental health patient detained under civil powers (i.e. who are not detained offenders)
- If a person’s occupation, service or employment means they cannot go to the polling station in person and they became aware of this fact after the deadline for ordinary proxy applications (i.e. 5pm on the sixth working day before the poll).
