Not how or why. I was just wondering what sort of percentage have sent in their now unchangeable votes. It's not mandatory to answer, I was just curious.

I have.

I voted by post at least a week ago and feel certain that I have voted with my conscience. No desire to change and I just want all this rubbish to be over, at least until after Christmas

Yes posted back shortly after receiving the postal vote

No, the polling station is a ten minute walk away and I like doing it in person.

I'm like you Witzend. This time is my first postal vote and it is for one election only.

Unfortunately Boris did not consult me before calling the election. If he had I would have told him that the week 8-15 December was a completely no-no as it clashed with arrangements we had made more than three months ago to go with friends a Christmas Market in Germany Tickets and hotel are booked.

We always have a postal vote just in case I'm ill at the time of an election and my husband is working away.

We have an Independent candidate standing who is completely trustworthy and as a local councillor has worked in the constituency tirelessly for many years. She's passionate about all the issues I care about and will be an excellent constituency MP, unlike her predecessor who has always been conspicuous by his absence. If she wins the seat, and I can't tell you how much I hope she does, then she will be making history. TV crews and the national newspapers are interviewing her and reporting on her progress - and interestingly not one of them has anything negative to report. I am hopeful that my vote will be meaningful for the first time in 20 years.

Yes already voted. We were on holiday one time so applied for a postal vote. We haven't changed it back. Last time we took our vote to the voting place ourselves. This Thursday we will not be here so hence postal vote again. A bit sad really as I would have liked the satisfaction of putting it in the box myself! ha ha.
