It does not necessarily mean it is a safe seat. Indeed, the whole idea of TBP not standing in existing Conservative seats was to avoid the Conservatives losing any that were marginals. Of course, TBP standing in non-Conservative held marginals could still cost them seats they might have won. -- Colin Bignell |

message ... Well that's it I've voted.. So you've received your postal ballot paper already, have you? We're going to be away at election time so we've applied, but we've not received our ballot papers yet. I'm not sure when they will be sent. I was surprised that the application didn't ask when we were going away and therefore when we needed to have received them. It's a shame that there isn't (as far as I know) the idea of a postal proxy vote: a postal ballot paper which is sent to someone else (eg relative in another part of the country) for them to vote on my behalf and return the ballot. There only seems to be a postal vote (in which case you need to still be here until the ballot paper arrives) or a proxy vote in which case your proxy needs to be someone local who votes (on your behalf) in person. OK, so we're in an area where our votes will be pushing against an already open door, so we'll just increase the votes for the foregone-conclusion candidate, but it would still be nice to vote. There's time enough yet: we don't leave until a week on Friday. |

NY was thinking very hard :

There's time enough yet: we don't leave until a week on Friday. Someone could quite easily do it for you, if they had access to your letter box. The ballot card just needs your signature, but I very much doubt they check that simply because they have nothing to check it against. They would only check if there were some dispute. |

Common with shares and credit unions and stuff like that. Yes, UK voting has "always" allowed proxy voting ("always" meaning as long as I can remember!) so that if you know you won't be able to vote, you can nominate a proxy who can go along to the polling station (and it must be that specific polling station in the UK) and cast their vote on your behalf. I'm not sure what authorisation from you they need to take along - presumably it needs to be authorised in advance (so the authority that you provide is sent to your proven address). The wording says that if you nominate a proxy, you can still vote in person as long as you get there and vote before your proxy does on your behalf. You take it on trust that your proxy casts the vote in accordance with your wishes, because there's no legal way of checking afterwards... |

Didn't you give a sample of your signature when you applied for a postal vote? I believe that it did for "checking" purpose. Probably the reason that your signature has to be within the boundary of the box is because it can be machine checked. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |
