Proxy voting
Do you want someone else to vote for you? Then grant someone a proxy.
What is proxy voting?
If you are unable to come to the polling place yourself or prefer not to make the trip to the polling place, there are other options for you to still cast your vote. One of these options is to authorize someone else. This proxy can then fill out a ballot paper on your behalf. A proxy may accept a maximum of 2 proxies.
How can you give someone a private or written power of attorney?
Private power of attorney
- You wait until you receive your voting card. Together with the person who may vote on your behalf, fill in the back of the voting card and sign it both. For a private proxy, you must provide a copy of your identification (may be expired 5 years) to the person who will vote on your behalf. You can only grant a private proxy to a person voting in the same municipality.
You can revoke a private proxy by requesting the voting card back and going to vote yourself.
