housebound  disabled ,to register for postal vote is too complicated.  

[bednobs]

there's no-one i want to vote for.

Plus if it's cold and rainy i want to stay in my jim-jams

[davebro3]

I was thinking the Tory was a sure thing but I may give him my vote "just in case".

Its dodgy up here in South Aberdeen sandy.The first imperative is to get rid of the pro-Hamas sitting MP.I might have to hold my nose on this one.

It's quite easy to get a postal vote.  I know many who have because the election is at the start of the Scottish school holidays and many will be away from home.

What's the mood up there ynna? Are people still backing the SNP or do you see a move to the other parties?

[hellywelly4]

I got a postal vote very easily. Not complicated at all.

Hamas isn't standing for election in my constituency 😪

For the first time ever during a general election we are on holiday so will be applying for a postal vote. I've only glanced at it so far but can well understand uploading a photo of signatures might be complicated for some. I know my inlaws couldn't do it without a meltdown.

@14.38.I normally vote Lib-Dem,3T,but this time i will have to vote tactically to get rid of Hamas [email protected] no British Workers Party candidate in your constituency then Geezer?

Getting a postal is not hard at all!!! I have registered for a postal for this election & was able to register for any upcoming future elections.

[perseverer]

For a postal vote you can apply online which does involve uploading a photo of signatures, but you can also download a blank form to fill up in the traditional fashion, and sign. Either way application has to be in by Wednesday 19th for this election.

[Prudie]

It's certainly easy if you have access to a printer or know how to upload a photo. The assumption the entire electorate should be able to that is as blinkered as the assuption that the whole UK can do without a landline (different story but try getting a phone signal in my area). 

[perseverer]

You could also  phone your Electoral Registration Officer (details on poll card) and asked for a form to be sent out, but probably too late now to meet the deadline. 
 
Also worth a reminder that if voting in person you need ID.

Back to the question. If I decide not to vote it's because I simply can't back any of them. All of the party leaders are a complete turn off but I am trying my best to see beyond them but the policies aren't much better. 

I did print off the form and apply for a postal vote last week, as we'll be travelling on the day and if I had to walk up to the village hall when we get home I really couldn't see myself  bothering.

[Prudie]

Just to add for those saying how easy it is to apply for a postal vote - did it on saturday, uploaded our signatues and Nat Ins numbers, dob, address, everything and today had an email unsuccessful as you're not registed to vote - even though I've lived at the same address for 20 years, always been on the elctoral roll and icing on the cake my polling card came last week. What a farce.

[Old_Geezer]

Unsure there are any workers in my constituency, yanna.

[Gromit]

For the first time ever, in a GE, I'm not voting. They're all a bunch of pathetic liars.
