If you are unable to get to a polling place because of special circumstances you may apply to cast a special declaration vote.

Special declaration voting papers are available from returning officers in the three weeks before election day, and on election day.

Before election day you can:

• complete and post the application for special declaration voting papers to your returning officer, or
• ask your agent to complete the application for special declaration voting papers and take it to your returning officer or advance voting facility, or
• apply by fax, email or telephone to your returning officer.

On election day you can ask another person to apply to collect your voting papers for you from a polling place.

Ask your agent to complete the application for special declaration voting papers included in the brochure which you can download under relevant resources, below, and take it to your Returning Officer or to a polling place.  Your agent will then bring back voting papers for you.  Your vote must be received back at the polling place no later than 7pm on election day.
