Registration
You need to be registered to vote in order to vote at this election. You are not automatically registered to vote because you pay Council Tax.

How you can vote
You can vote person at the polling station, by post or by proxy.
Voting in person at a polling station
Polling stations will be open from 7am - 10pm on Thursday 15 June 2023. Details of your polling station can be found on your poll card. Please check where your polling station is located as this may have changed since you last voted. Voters who usually vote at Frimley Green Youth Centre will be voting at Frimley Green Club, 18-20 Sturt Road, Frimley Green GU16 6HX
Poll Cards for electors voting at their polling station will be sent letters sent in an A5 envelope.
You do not need your Poll Card to vote but it saves time at the polling station if you take with you to vote.
You will need to bring an accepted form of photo identification in order to receive your ballot paper. See here for further information.
You are also welcome to take your own pen or pencil to use in the Polling Station.
Postal voting
You can apply for a postal vote at any time until 5pm on Wednesday, 31 May 2023. You can download applications to vote by post from the Gov.uk website. We must receive your application by this deadline.
The deadline for making changes to or cancelling existing postal votes is also 5pm on Wednesday, 31 May 2023.
Postal Votes are sent out in batches, with cut off dates for each batch so the earlier we receive your application form the sooner we can send you your ballot papers.
Completed postal votes need to be returned to the Returning Officer by 10pm on 15 June 2023. You can hand your completed postal vote into the Council Offices or at any polling station in your division.
Proxy voting
You can apply for a proxy vote, where someone votes on your behalf at your polling station until 5pm Wednesday 7 June 2023. Your proxy needs to be registered to vote and eligible to vote at the elections on 15 June 2023. You can download applications to vote by proxy from the Gov.uk website.
If you appoint a proxy, you are still entitled vote yourself at your polling station provided that your proxy has not already voted on your behalf or arranged a postal vote. Please note that your proxy will need to attend your allocated polling station to vote on your behalf.
If, after 5pm on Wednesday 7 June 2023 you find that you are unable to attend your polling station due to work or medical reasons, or there is an issue with the Voter ID you had planned to use, you may be able to apply to vote by emergency proxy.
