I didn’t realise it would be this early.

Blimey.

The starter gun has been fired.

Postal vote recieved, filled in, and posted.

I don't understand the need for a card to tell you that you will get a postal vote. Double postage ?

if you're going to be overseas during the lead up to election day, it might be safer to go for a proxy vote.
that's if you can trust anyone enough ...
too late now though.
re ID, isn't an over 60s' bus pass acceptable?

Yes welbeck an over 60’s bus pass is perfectly acceptable.

Calendargirl Sun 23-Jun-24 06:53:56

Blue Badge also acceptable i/d.

Blue Badge also acceptable i/d.

However, it may be displayed on your car at the polling station. 😉

That’s true Marydoll.

I work at a village hall where it doesn’t matter about displaying badges in the car park, but appreciate it might be an issue at certain venues.

I have returned my postal vote in the post this morning.

Even with my Blue Badge, I can't get parked near the polling station. It's all uphill, hence my postal vote.

On my card it was an announcement of the election itself and just included a section on postal voting. Maybe mandatory?
