Crown servant or British Council employee (or husband, wife, civil partner)

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 may only be 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.
