Part 1: Administration and Conduct of Elections Postal and Proxy Voting Section 6: Limit on number of electors for whom a proxy can vote
Section 6 gives effect to Schedule 4 to the Act. This amends provisions in the RPA 1983, RPA 1985 and Schedule 4 to the RPA 2000 to introduce a new limit of four on the total number of electors for whom a person may act as proxy in UK Parliamentary elections or local government elections in England. Within this limit of four, no more than two electors can be electors who are registered otherwise than in pursuance of an overseas elector’s declaration or a service declaration. All four may be for overseas electors or service voters.
