If you are unable to get to a polling place because of special circumstances you may apply to cast a special declaration vote.

Special declaration voting papers are available from returning officers in the two-and-a-half weeks before election day, and on election day.

Before election day you can:

• complete and post the application for special declaration voting papers to your returning officer, or
• ask someone else to complete the application for special declaration voting papers and take it to your returning officer or advance voting place; or
• apply by fax, email or telephone to your returning officer.

On election day you can ask another person to apply to collect your voting papers for you from a polling place.
