The deadline for applying to vote by post in the Scottish Parliament election on 6 May has passed.

You still have time to apply to vote by proxy if you do not want to go to your polling station to vote in the Scottish Parliament election on 6 May.

To vote by proxy you need to ask someone you trust to go to your polling station on 6 May and vote on your behalf.

You will then need to complete an application form to vote by proxy, and get it back to us before 5pm on Tuesday 27 April.
