Postal Voting

[mikey4444]

I have had my voting card sent to me but I am thinking that I might like to register for a postal vote this time....anyone know how to go about it ?

[Maydup]

But its not secret is it as every slip is numbered and anyone frightened enough will vote as instructed by the domineering family member, for fear of being traced. Postal or in person, makes no difference. The sooner we can vote electronically the better.

Do you mean from our laptops, Maydup?.....Only I tried to book a tiara making course and ended up on an illegal South American site and our phone and internet were cut off...
I ordered a space ship online and got a duck with a dick....

I could end up voting Conservative!!!!! :-(

I can't believe that people have managed to bring cultural issues into this thread. Domineering men making their wives vote as they want them to - really. What rubbish.

Not rubbish at all, it's well-proven. Read this:

Gness, if you vote for the duck we may have a chance.

[tonyav]

LOL.

We could do worse, Mamya...I will!...Sorted....... :-)

I would have thought it [postal voting] was less open. [to fraud]

No it isn’t. The main problem is “harvesting” of postal ballot papers. Have a read of this:

It’s all interesting (if you've the time) but paras 343 to 373 are of particular reference as far as this question goes.
