by post, proxy and at a polling station.</p><p> </p><p>The Commission’s guidance to
Electoral Registration Officers sets out that they should ensure people are made aware
of the different ways they can cast their vote so they are able to choose the option

options for how to cast a ballot is also provided on the Commission’s website, via
