How to vote in the General Election

Emergency proxy vote

In certain circumstances, where you have an emergency that means you cannot vote in person, you can apply for an emergency proxy.

This must be something that you were not aware of before the normal proxy vote deadline.

The form you need to complete depends on your reason for needing an emergency proxy vote.

You will need to download the relevant emergency proxy vote application form and print it. Once you have completed the form and made sure you have signed it, you can scan and email it to electoralservices@guildford.gov.uk or deliver it to us at our address:

The Electoral Registration Officer
Guildford Borough Council,
Millmead House,
Millmead, Guildford,
Surrey GU2 4BB

We must receive your completed emergency proxy application no later than 5pm on polling day.

If you're not sure if you have a postal vote or proxy vote already, contact Electoral Services.
