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

for after the closing date for new applications for proxy
votes and no later than 5pm on the day of the

and declare that they could not have made their application
earlier.
