On Holiday?

If you are applying to vote by post because you are going on holiday, please bear in mind that ballot papers will land on doormats between 26 and 29 April 2010. You will need to give a postal address where you can receive your ballot papers. This can be your away address. We can post ballot papers anywhere in the world, but the problem is getting them back to us before 10.00 pm on 6 May 2010. If this is not practicable, you should consider making other arrangements, such as appointing a proxy to vote on your behalf. If your proxy can't physically get to the polling station then the proxy can vote by post.  Find out about Proxy Voting.
