To be really annoyed I can't vote!

[Sidalee7]

I have to go to Glasgow for a meeting on Thursday. Flight leaves at 7, not back until 10. I'm too late for a postal vote.

I feel really really annoyed...is there any way I can go to a different polling station. In Scotland even though I'm from London?

Could you get a proxy vote?

[NoMoreMissusNiceGuy]

You might be able to vote by proxy.
Have a look at AboutMyVote.co.uk .

Ooh, what is a proxy vote?

[Sidalee7]

Thanks both - will apply for an emergency proxy.

I'm an overseas voter and the form hasnt reached me yet, so I'll not get to vote either. I should have registered sooner, but I dont really understand why more than 2 weeks on I've not got anything, whereas anything my mum sends gets here in 4 days flat.

Emergency proxy - good luck!

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

redexpat postal votes tend to go out quite late as the ballot papers cannot be printed until all the candidates have declared.

Next time round get yourself a proxy vote/postal proxy.

I was in labour during the referendum and managed to get a proxy vote. You do need to meet certain conditions to get one though. i.e unforseen emergency.

I can't vote either. I'm an overseas voter and my papers never arrived. DH got his though.

I got an emergency proxy and my mum voted for me! Thanks all...
