If you mean in an election (local or parliamentary) then no.

Is this to counteract false voting?

You can register online for a postal vote, but vote - no

[bigfoot3000]

You can register for a postal vote but not vote?

[mike11111]

maybe, but probably more to do with the sheer complexity involved. Voting is on a ward or constituency basis which would mean producing a list of candidates for every locality, plus ensuring that the elector had the right to vote there.

Yes you register and they send the papers to your address and you fill them in and send back!!! been doing it for a few years now.

You can register on-line for a postal vote but the ballot paper will be sent by post which you can return either by post or taking it to your local polling station. You cannot actually cast a vote on-line.

So I can vote by post, ok thanks mike and mamalynne.

I miss having the crawling bastads knocking at the door every time there`s an election on, I used to tell them they`ve got 2 minutes to convince me to vote for them and then shut the door after 30 seconds
