In the UK, there are three different ways you can vote. How you vote is up to
you. It may depend on what you find easiest or the most convenient method.
Most people vote in person at a local building called a polling station.
However, if you are not able to go to the polling station in person on election
day, you can apply to vote by post or by proxy. (Proxy means someone voting on
your behalf with your permission). The following links will help you understand
how to vote.
I Want To Vote in Person
Voting at a polling station is very straightforward and there is
always a member of staff available to help. If you are on the electoral
register, you will receive a poll card before the election telling you where and
when to vote. Find out more

Can I Vote by Post?
Voting by post is an easy and convenient way of voting if you
are unable to get to the polling station.
What is Voting by Proxy?
If you are unable to vote in person, you can apply to vote by
proxy (someone else voting on your behalf).
