YassinMoutaouakil Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'm doing a proxy vote for 2 No voters who are on holiday on the 18th so I'll stick them down as Yes to cancel them out. It's the fairest thing to do, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Might report you for electoral fraud tbh I am doing it for the betterment of the country. People that are voting No don't know what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I know a girl who was teaching abroad who has returned. She's forever posting stuff about Yes on fb. I think she would have come back anyhow but the vote made her decision easier sort-of-thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 As a true patriot Sean Connery wants to but he's terribly worried about how it would affect his tax liabilities. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtgilphead Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'm sure the police will see it that way And exactly how do you think that they will be able to prove this supposed "crime" Proxy voting is all about choosing someone you trust. If your trust is misplaced then more fool you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your trust is misplaced then more fool you. ?! I think I'll go round the doors of all the old folk in the Village and offer to vote for them. I must be sure to take a pad and pen and note which way they want to vote. When's the deadline for proxy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boabinoban Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Actor Adam Robertson who plays Doc Dan Hunter in River City, has revealed he is moving his family back to Scotland (having left 20yrs ago) so he can vote Yes in the Indy Ref. I had been wondering about the situation of ex-pats who desperately wanted their say and concluded that for many, it really wouldn't take a great effort to temp. return, reg to vote and then - if needs/desire must - fk off again. My wife's sister is doing it, she's going to stay and reg at her mother's. I'm trying to arrange similar thing for my brother and a couple of friends. One of my oldest friends (I was best man at his wedding), who moved to Australia 20 years ago, is coming back to volunteer for the campaign up to the election, registering and voting Yes.

You can only proxy for 2 other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Maybe someone on here can help me. I'm at home for the summer and my new flat lease doesn't start until the 11th of September. That means that I won't be able to vote here, but will I be able to get my voting card sent to my other address after the 11th? If not, can I get a postal vote sent to this address, have my parents send it up to me then post it back from a different region? Also, my flatmate is an EU citizen without a UK address, until the 11th. He is eligible to vote and has moved from undecided to yes. How can he vote? You should make sure you are registered at your parents' address and apply for a postal vote, getting your parents to forward it to wherever you are and just fill it in and use the return envelope. It doesn't matter that you are in a different region as it will just be counted in the region in which you are registered.As for your EU citizen flatmate he may be eligible for a Declaration of local connection form, but he should ask your local electoral registration office.

Ross. Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 ?! I think I'll go round the doors of all the old folk in the Village and offer to vote for them. I must be sure to take a pad and pen and note which way they want to vote. When's the deadline for proxy? Labour have been doing that for years in some places.... I looked into buying a flat back home in the hope it would allow me to vote, but it wouldn't have made a difference, so I won't bother. I know of 1 person who is moving back from Switzerland to vote Yes, having managed to secure a secondment in work that will mean they can come back here early next year and go back to the job they are currently doing.

Mr Bairn Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 You cant just buy a flat, Alan Cumming tried that. You have to actually reside here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taza Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 You can register at friends/family house. If it's a single adult household, they would lose the single person discount on council tax bill but hey, if it's only for a few weeks. Two+ adult household, no worries.

Mr Bairn Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 You'd probably be done for fraud though. It's not as easy as just pretending you live here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
