How do I vote?

Before carrying on, you may want to check you can participate in this election. Click here for a video guide.


Step 1 - To begin voting, click the Vote Now button above and accept the terms and conditions.

Step 3 - Take a moment to read the candidates' manifestos, then rank them in order of preference, first to last. Rank as many candidates as you can: if you only vote for one candidate and they aren't elected, your vote will be wasted.
