Not in Son en Breugel on March 18: authorizing someone

If you will not be in Son en Breugel on March 18 (election day) because you are temporarily staying elsewhere or, for example, on vacation abroad, you can authorize someone else to vote for you. The condition is that you are registered in Son en Breugel and the person you authorize also lives in Son en Breugel. 

Voting from abroad by mail is not possible in municipal elections. 

Written authorization 

To authorize someone in writing, follow the steps below. Health your application is received by us no later than Friday, March 13. 

  1. Check whether someone is allowed to vote for you
    The person you authorize may be authorized by a maximum of 2 people (so it is not possible to vote for 3 other people).  
     
  2. Fill in thepower of attorney form
    Both you and the authorized representative must fill in thepower of attorney form. Don't forget to sign the form. Download the form at the bottom of this webpage. 
     
  3. Submit form
    You can return the signed form to us in three ways. 
    The deadline for receiving your application is Friday, March 13.
    - by mail (Postbus , 5690 AA Son en Breugel);
    - by dropping it off at the reception desk of the town hall;
    - by email toverkiezingen@sonenbreugel.nl. 
     
  4. Receiving proof of proxy
    The person you have authorized will receive proof of proxy by mail.
    You cannot revoke this proxy afterward. This means you will no longer be able to vote yourself. 
     
  5. Voting on your behalf
    On election day, the proxy will cast a vote on your behalf.
    Please note: the proxy can only do this when he or she is also casting a vote. It is therefore not possible for someone to vote for themselves in the morning and then return in the afternoon to cast the proxy vote.
