  1. All I can say is thank goodness for this election!
    I use old envelopes to write shopping lists and other notes on. But my supply has been dwindling because I don’t get many letters any more.
    Week 1 of the campaign and I already have enough supply to last me several months.

  2. Now an election has been called for #4July don't forget to:

    Register to vote - gov.uk/register-to-vote

    If you're in #Scotland then we are in the middle of the #summerholiday period. So, why not arrange for a #PostalVote?

    Postal Vote Application -
    gov.uk/apply-postal-vote

    If you're going to #VoteInPerson then you'll need #voterid (you don't need one of you're doing a Postal Vote):

    Voter authority certificate - gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-vote

  4. CW: covid-careful voting, UK, 2/n

    The voting papers should then be posted to you. You get a ballot paper, an envelope to put it in so it's secret, another bit of paper which iirc you have to sign, & a pre-paid envelope to post it in.

    Then you can either post back your vote in advance, or take it to the polling station on the day. And new at the recent local elections, if you take it to the polling station you have to fill in even _another_ little form!

    I don't want to take off my mask in the polling station! So my work-around these days is to get a postal vote.

    You still have to register to vote "ordinarily" at gov.uk, if you hadn't already - by 18 June 2024 for this next election.

    Then you apply for the postal vote, by 5pm on 19 June:
    gov.uk/apply-postal-vote

  8. UK Prime Minister announces #UKParliament #UKElection for Thursday 4 July.

    Has the date cynically been chosen to be in the first part of school summer holidays in Scotland (when many families may be away) and university/college summer break (many students may also be away or at home and not registered to vote there)?

    Remember to register for a #PostalVote if you want or need to, and to have ID if voting in person.

  9. Electoral Commission warn Oliver Mundell MSP over postal vote 'fishing'
    A VOTER in Dumfries has gone to the Electoral Commission (EC) after he received a letter from Tory MSP Oliver Mundell inviting him to complete a postal vote application form and return it to his office – and not to the “preferred address” of the local Electoral Registration Officer.
