Once registered you can cast your vote by post, in person in a polling station or by appointing someone you trust to vote on your behalf, which is known as a proxy vote.

Voting at a Polling Station: For those who choose to vote in person, arrangements will be in place to help ensure polling stations are COVID-19 safe.  Many of the measures will be familiar to voters, as they have been in place for some months in shops and banks, such as social distancing, use of hand sanitiser and face coverings (unless exempt). Voters can bring their own pencil or pen.

Voting by Proxy (appointing someone you trust to vote on your behalf): The deadline for a proxy vote is 5pm on Tuesday 27 April.
