It appears almost impossible to be able to vote in any elections as an Expat. Apparently my only option is to register as a postal vote and they will send out ballots 1 week before the elections. The problem is that it takes a week for mail to get to me from the UK. I also cant get family to vote for me as I lived in a different area to my family before I left England. I know the country seems to be going downhill, but I still have pension there and would like some say on what goes on.

Speak to the office of your local MP in UK - or whoever was your local MP before you became an Expat.
Choose the MP you wish to vote for!
I had emailed my local MP with reference to KSIOM, and when the elections were due received an email
suggesting that I might like to vote and that I could do this using the address of one of their supporters
since I had no family in the area either.
I can't remember the detail now - it was too long ago, but that's what we did and it was fine.
Speak to your MP.
