Application to Emergency Proxy Vote
There is a new provision in the Representation of the People
(England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2006 to allow electors
to apply for an emergency proxy vote for reasons of physical
incapacity and could not have made an application before the last
day to apply for a proxy vote.
The emergency proxy voting application form can be downloaded
here.
- Emergency Proxy Voting applications can only be applied for after the closing date for new applications for proxy votes (six days before polling day) and no later than 5pm on the day of the poll.
- The applicant is required to give a reason for the application and declare that they could not have made their application earlier.
- This application has to be certified by a registered medical practitioner/a registered nurse, a Christian Science practitioner/the manager, warden or matron of the residential home in which the applicant resides.
The emergency proxy voting must be delivered to the Electoral Team, Swale House, Richmond to be processed. A certificate will be issued to valid applications to enable the proxy to vote at the official polling station.
