3. YOU NEED TO DECIDE HOW TO VOTE
You can vote in 3 ways:
In person - This means you will be required to attend your local polling station and vote in person on the 8th June 2017 between 7am and 10pm. You will receive a polling card in the post which will tell you where you need to go.
Through the post - If you choose to, you will be sent your ballot paper in the post for you to mark and return as soon as possible in the post. You can apply as part of your registration to vote.
By proxy - If you are unable to vote on voting day for whatever reason (e.g work or medical reasons) you can nominate someone to vote on your behalf as long as they are registered to voter themselves. You need to fill in a separate form to do this which you can find here.
