Most people choose to vote in person at their polling station. Any person on the polling station’s electoral register can vote at the polling station in a UK Parliamentary election, unless:
are a registered postal voter
they are a registered proxy voter and their proxy has already voted for them or has applied to vote on their behalf by post
they are not 18 years of age or older on polling day
they are a peer in the House of Lords
they are an EU citizen (except for citizens from the Republic of Ireland, Cyprus and Malta, who are entitled to vote at a UK Parliamentary election)
Electors will receive a poll card before the election telling them where and when they can vote. Electors do not need to take their poll card to the polling station in order to vote, unless they are registered anonymously due to a risk to their safety.
