    It is too late to apply to vote by post in the General Election. If you've applied already, your postal vote must arrive at your Electoral Office in the UK by 10pm on 12 December.

    Voting in Northern Ireland

    There’s a different process to apply to vote by post or proxy if you live in Northern Ireland and will be abroad temporarily on election day.

    If you will not have time to receive and return your postal ballot in Northern Ireland before going abroad you’ll need to vote by proxy. You cannot apply to have your postal vote sent outside the UK.
