If you will be away on polling day, at work or on holiday, are physically unable or just don't have the time to get to a polling station to vote in person, you can still exercise your democratic right to vote. You may have moved house since the electoral register was drawn up and have not yet joined the register at your new address.
To find out more about voting by post or proxy, please visit the Electoral Commission's official site at: http://www.aboutmyvote.co.uk/
 
Official forms can be downloaded from this site.
