Postal voting
This is where we send you your ballot paper(s) around 10 days before the election. You simply mark your ballot papers, sign a statement, and post these back to us in a pre-paid envelope we provide. We need to receive your ballot paper(s) and statement by 10pm on election day.
To vote by post you must:
- Be registered to vote
- Send us a completed application form by 5pm on the 11th working day for an election (we will add specific dates for any forthcoming elections here)
To apply to vote by post please download and print a form from the Electoral Commission’s website (external link) and then either email a scanned image to us at elections@haringey.gov.uk or post it back to us at:
Electoral Registration Office

Cancelling your postal vote

Proxy voting
You can have a proxy vote if you cannot get to the polling station on polling day. This is where you appoint somebody to vote for you. They can go along to your polling station and cast your vote.
There are different application forms (external link), depending on why you can’t get to the polling station. Make sure you complete the right one.
- Usually, you need to apply at least 6 working days before election day
Emergency situations
In the exceptional circumstance that you are involved in an emergency situation on Election Day, you will be able to register for an emergency proxy vote by phoning 020 8489 1000 before 5pm on election day.
Postal proxy voting
If your proxy is going to be away from home on the day of the election, they can apply for your proxy ballot paper to be posted to them.
