This will be the easiest, safest option for most people during Covid-19. If you don't have a printer, we suggest downloading the papers and asking a friend print them for you, or popping to your local library and using their printer (if it's safe for you to do so!)
If you are on the unpublished electoral roll, and/or you can't download and print your voting papers, you may be able to vote in person, or request a postal vote from your nearest overseas voting place. Services will vary depending on the Covid-19 restrictions in your area.
