The City of Brussels sent you your voting card for the elections in the course of September.

The free number 0800 200 35 of the Demography Department was available to voters:

who have lost their ID card (required to vote)
who have lost their voting card
whose voting card has not arrived
who are confronted with any problem surrounding the voting cards
who want to give a proxy to another voter

If you can not present yourself at the polling station on the day of the vote, you can appoint another voter to vote in your place by proxy (your authorized representative).

Please note:

Each other voter can be appointed as the authorized representative. Each authorized representative may only have one proxy.
You are a voter and you can not go to the polling station on the day of the municipal elections because you are temporarily staying abroad for private reasons: the impossibility to come to the polling station is determined by the Mayor of your place of residence or his representative after you submitted the necessary supporting documents. When the Mayor accepts the application, he delivers a P2 form for that purpose. You can go to the Administrative Centre, Boulevard Anspach 6 (2nd floor) - 1000 Brussels. Phone: 0800 200 35.
