Gone and done it!

Ours hasn't arrived either.
We have had a postal vote since they allowed anyone who wanted to vote that way to do so. Before that you needed a good reason not to trek to the local hall to put a cross in a box.
I think it is a very easy way to vote, you can take your time and I can see it all being done online in the future.

I applied for one for the first time this year too - it came yesterday! Parking is a nightmare near our polling station, and too far to walk...

Crikey I'm really surprised so many use postal votes I always imagined they were pretty few and far between.

Mine hasn't either!

Mine hasn't arrived yet!

Good on grandma, aren't they all? for grandma.

I like going to the polling station, but can see the postal vote is useful for some people.

I have had a postal vote for some time. The envelope is currently sitting on my kitchen bench at home almost daring me to open it and place my cross. sadly I haven't got the foggiest clue where that cross should be. My heart and head are telling me two different things.

I helped my grandma do her postal vote yesterday. This is the first postal vote she has ever had as up until last voting she was escorted to the polling station by her friendly neighbourhood councillor I expect he held her hand whilst she placed the cross in the right box . I was suprised that she has moved to postal voting as grandma loves the whole voting ceremony and the attention she gets from being taken. The funny thing is while we were filling the forms in, she was moaning about the very candidate that she was voting for and called him a "useless nobody who thinks he's a somebody".

Mine only came this morning but before it got lost somewhere it got sorted and back in the post as today is an ok day.

I first asked for a postal vote nine years ago when I was due to be in hospital. They kept on sending it to me and I just kept on using it. But it hasn't arrived yet.

I asked for a postal vote due to being disabled. I have good and bad days and on bad days I can't even get into the kitchen without getting out of breath.

I have appointed a proxy as we are in the U.S.
We left too early to vote by post.
I agree tanith about going to the polling station - as well as seeing people, it's a tangible part of being part of the democratic process.
Though appointing a proxy was good in a way - asking our friend if he would do it for us, and discussing our choice, felt almost conspiratorial

I'd only do a postal vote if I were going to be away or were incapacitated in some way, I enjoy the whole 'going to vote' rigmarole , I see people in my community that I wouldn't otherwise see from one months end to the other.
