If you cannot reach an approved witness – please contact the Electoral Commission at helpdesk@electoralcommission.org.nr.

We can help you by remotely witnessing your signing of the following documents.

• Registration Form 01: Application for Registration
• Registration Form 04: Overseas Application for Transfer of Registration
• Proxy Form 01: Application for Proxy Voting Authorisation (Proxy forms need to wait until proxy applications open – 21 days before the election)

Here are the simple steps:

1. We will set up a time and send you a video link.
2. We will ask you a series of questions to prove your identity and then ask you to complete the form so that is visible to the witness.
3. The application form must be completed on video so that we can see.
4. After signing the form, you will hold up the form to the camera and showing your face and a screenshot will be taken  and saved.
5. We will keep a record of the video witness.
6. Then you have three days to scan the form and send it to registration@electoralcommission.org.nr.
