Where do Students Vote:

How to Appoint a Proxy:

If you are unable to attend a voting place on any of the dates set for voting, you may appoint someone to act as your proxy. This allows you to appoint another eligible elector to cast your vote on your behalf.

To appoint a proxy you must obtain the prescribed form from the office of the Clerk. The person appointed must present the form signed by the elector appointing the proxy to the Clerk. The Clerk will then issue a certificate that must be presented at the voting place.
