How to vote if you can't get to a polling a station
By post. Anyone who is eligible and registered to vote can apply for a postal vote, but we need to receive your application before 5pm on Wednesday 19 June.
By proxy — somebody to vote on your behalf. The deadline for receiving new applications to vote by proxy is 5pm on Wednesday 26 June, if you currently vote in person. If you wish to have a proxy vote instead of voting by post, you will need to apply for a proxy vote by 5pm on Wednesday 19 June.
