Live or work abroad
If you are a British or eligible Irish citizen living abroad who has previously lived in the UK or been registered to vote in the UK, you can register to vote in UK Parliamentary elections.
A number of changes to voting from overseas now apply:
If you want to vote from overseas you have two options:
- Vote by Proxy – this is where you appoint a person to cast your vote on your behalf.
- Vote by Post – we can send postal votes overseas. However, depending on where you live, it may take too long for your postal ballot to be sent back to us before it needs to be counted. If you think this applies to you, please apply for a proxy vote instead.
