Proxy Voting
Proxy voting is a convenient way to ensure your vote isn't wasted if you are unable to physically get to your polling station for reasons such as disability, you're away on holiday, or you are in the Armed Forces.
Proxy voting basically means you are giving permission to another person to vote on your behalf. The named proxy should be a close relative and/or someone you trust
