Electoral Registration

Absent Voting - Voting by post or proxy

On 31 October 2023 the way you apply for a postal vote changed.
You are now required to make separate applications to vote by post in both UK Parliament and Scottish Elections.

•    For UK Parliament Elections: the easiest way is to apply online at www.gov.uk/apply-postal-vote

•    For Scottish Elections: you will need to complete a paper form. Please use the following link to download a Scottish only application form –  here

If you are unable to go online to apply for a UK Parliament postal vote, you can use a paper form to apply for both UK Parliament and Scottish Elections postal votes. Please use the following link to download a combined UK Parliament and Scottish Elections form.  –  here 

It is important that you read the guidance on the form before completing and returning it.
