Default OT My election flyer is done

Their basic method of implementing opt-out is fundamentally
flawed, since it depends upon any unfamiliar staff allocated to
the route remembering my status at the time they reach my
doorstep.

It could easily be prevented if they would allow their staff to
respect notices affixed to the letterbox. They could even issue
stickers themselves, once they have your confirmed instructions.
They won't do this, because it would reduce revenue.

Oddly, the mailing that was supposed to inform everybody about
the planned (and then quickly postponed) NHS database was wrongly
deemed by Royal Mail to be OK for opt out. - we never saw it.

Don't forget, you need to re-register every 2 years, they won't
remind you.
