Apply for a proxy vote

Nominate someone else to vote on your behalf

The proxy vote application deadline for new applications will be 5pm on the 4 December. Anyone who is registered can apply for a proxy vote. Proxy voting means that if you aren't able to cast your vote in person, you can have someone you trust cast your vote for you.

When you apply for a proxy vote you must provide a reason. The person you wish to appoint as your proxy can only act as proxy if they are 18 or over and they are (or will be) registered for that election or referendum.

A person cannot be a proxy for more than two people at any one election or referendum, unless they are a close relative.

If your proxy cannot make it to your polling station to vote, they may apply for a postal proxy vote. The deadline for postal proxy applications is 5pm on 26 November. Please call 01263 516046 to request a postal proxy application form.

Proxy vote applications may be emailed to elections@north-norfolk.gov.uk
