Overseas electors will register in respect of their last UK address, and will cast their ballot in that constituency. They may choose to vote by postal ballot, in person (if they are in the UK on polling day) or by nominating a proxy to vote on their behalf (postal ballots are not available to overseas electors registered in Northern Ireland).Full details are set out in the policy statement published on 7 October 2016 entitled ‘A democracy that works for everyone: British citizens overseas’ which can be found here:<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a-democracy-that-works-for-everyone-british-citizens-overseas" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a-democracy-that-works-for-everyone-british-citizens-overseas</a>The franchise for any future referendum would be determined by Parliament in the primary legislation which provides for that referendum.
