    It's worth highlighting that the #Tories changed the rules as of #Jan2024 so that British citizens living abroad may now vote in the #GeneralElection even if they been out of the #UK for MORE than 15 years.

    They did it to prop up their voting share from all the (mostly) rich, (mostly Tory-voting) #expats living in Spain and the South of France.

    I hope every #overseas #British citizen registers to vote and either immediately requests a postal ballot, or organises a #proxyVote

  4. So the deadline has passed for applying for postal vote, but did you know there is still a way that you can cast your vote if you haven’t got #VoterID but are on the electoral roll. You can request a #ProxyVote.

    If you apply by 25th April, someone can vote on your behalf. They need their own ID at polling station, but not yours.

    Again, don’t ask me why this is possible, but it is?!
