We've had a printing issue with a small number of poll cards that have been issued for the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner election on 2 May. If you receive a second poll card please destroy the first poll card you received, and use the second one. The replacement poll cards will be clearly marked to show you which one to retain. Please be reassured this will not affect anyone's ability to vote, or allow people to vote more than once. Whilst you can take your poll card to the polling station, remember you don't need it to vote, but you must remember to bring your voter ID. Thank you for your understanding.

Who can vote on my behalf?

Anyone can be your proxy, as long as they are eligible to vote in the election, and they are willing to vote on your behalf.

You cannot be a proxy for more than two people at any one election, unless they are a close relative.

Please be aware, there is a limit on the number of electors for whom a person may act as proxy. A person is only able to act as proxy for up to two electors residing in the UK, or up to four electors living overseas.
