Application for a postal vote
This is a universal form which can be used by any elector to apply to vote by post, either at a single election, or indefinitely.
Application for a proxy to vote by post
This form enables a person, who has been appointed to vote as proxy for another elector, to apply to vote by post. This will normally be because the proxy does not live within the Peterborough City area, but the form may also be used for short-term reasons, e.g. the proxy will be away from home on the day of the election.

 

Please note:
All absent vote forms must be printed with "page scaling" set to "none"
