Publication of Register Following the changes the new Register will now be published on 1st December each year. There will be two versions of the Register a full version and an 'edited' copy. People will be given the opportunity to 'opt out' of appearing in the full version of the Register. The edited version of the Register will be available for sale at a statutory fee. The new rules make it much easier to apply for postal voting.
Postal voting is now available on demand - no reason needs to be given.
So if you have difficulty getting to your polling station to vote, if you are often away from home, or just find it easier to vote by post, there is an application form attached for you to print off and complete. Download the application form. Applying to Vote by Proxy Proxy voting is when you ask someone to vote on your behalf. Long term Proxy voting applications, which cover all elections for an indefinite period require another person to attest the form for certain reasons. For example if you are applying on the grounds of employment, this would have to be confirmed by your employer.
