Can Crown Servants, British Council employees and members of the Armed Forces who are posted overseas vote?
Crown Servants (such as British Embassy workers), British
Council employees and members of the Armed Forces who are posted
overseas can vote in all elections. You need to
download a registration form (select the appropriate one) and
send it to the local electoral registration office for the address
where you would be living if you were not posted overseas. You can
then choose to vote by post or by proxy (someone voting on your
behalf). Postal votes are only sent out a week before election. You
will need to consider whether this gives you enough time to
complete and return your form in time. It may be better to appoint
a proxy to vote on your behalf.
