Running electoral registration - Scotland

Proxy vote signature identifier record

You must apply the signature held in the elector's UK Parliament elections absent voting record where an elector has a Scottish Parliament and Local council elections proxy vote arrangement and a UK Parliament elections proxy vote arrangement.

This must be the sole signature on record with effect from the relevant day.1

Proxy vote appointments - Alignment of signature refresh dates

Where a person has both UK Parliament elections and Scottish Parliament and Local council elections proxy appointments and only the refresh dates for appointments are different, the signature refresh date will be the refresh date of the UK Parliament elections proxy appointment.2

There is no requirement to notify the person that this change has taken place. They will be notified in line with the proxy vote signature refresh process. For more information see our guidance on refreshing proxy vote signatures.
