Running electoral registration - Wales

After the sixth day before the poll has passed and all absent vote applications have been determined ahead of a poll, you will need to prepare the electoral registers which are to be used in the polling stations.

Electors allowed to vote by post and electors whose proxies have been allowed to vote by post must have the letter ‘A’ marked alongside their names in the polling station register.1 Your EMS system should have the facility to print registers for use in the polling station at a poll. There is no prescribed way of marking proxy voters on polling station registers, although in many cases, they will be prefixed with the letter ‘P’.
