Postal and Proxy Voting

Postal Voting

Anyone can apply for a postal vote for all elections, or for a particular election, without giving a reason.

You can download and print a postal vote application form (pdf format) which should be completed in black pen, or contact Electoral Services by telephone 01892 602417 or by email elections@wealden.gov.uk for a form to be sent to you.

The last time for the receipt of applications for postal votes for a particular election is 5pm 11 working days before polling day.

Proxy Voting

Alternatively, you can apply to appoint a proxy who would vote at your polling station on your behalf. If you choose to vote by proxy at a particular election you are required to give a reason, e.g. illness, disability, employment, attendance on a course etc. If you choose to vote by proxy for all elections you will also need to give a reason and get someone to support your application. The people who are qualified to support your application are listed in the notes on the second page of the form.
