Anyone not received their postal voting forms as yet?

I'm getting twitchy as I'm going away on Monday! My lovely local council offices close at 3pm so have had to rely on chasing them via email.

Anyone else?

Yep, all done and returned already (mine arrived on Saturday).

Moier · 26/06/2024 16:59

Yes been waiting 5 years.
Apply every year.. wrote to my local MP. Still waiting.

HadEnoughOfBears · 26/06/2024 17:09

Yes me. Or 3 of us actually. Have had acknowledgments of the applications though so at least that's something. But going away on Monday 🤷🏻‍♀️

Me. What a shit system.

Onyoupop · 26/06/2024 20:36

We got ours on Saturday - NW England.

CuteCillian · 26/06/2024 20:39

No sign of mine yet. It was suggested I would receive it today.

Lokshen · 26/06/2024 20:40

Still waiting

Flopsythebunny · 26/06/2024 20:41

Mine hasn't arrived. I go into hospital on Monday at 7am

NextPhaseOfLife · 26/06/2024 20:41

Got mine last week.

NextPhaseOfLife · 26/06/2024 20:41

Hope yours comes soon 😢

VestPantsandSocks · 26/06/2024 20:42

Arrived today!

Midlifestylecrisis · 26/06/2024 20:43

Got mine around a week ago, however for the local elections in May it arrived on the Friday the week before - the day before I went on holiday.

i agree this system seems to be badly administered, there should be a legal requirement to have them issued at least 2 weeks beforehand.

FunIsland · 26/06/2024 20:46

Ours arrived today. We were beginning to worry.

Mabelface · 28/06/2024 18:57

Arrived today. Talk about cutting it fine!

Mine arrived last week got round to filling it in today

Crunchymum · 28/06/2024 19:02

When do they have to be posted by? 😮

We got ours last week so all okay here.

AllBranEater · 28/06/2024 19:49

Mine came today, hope it gets back to them in time.

OrangeBlossomsinthesun · 28/06/2024 19:51

I live in Spain and mine hasn't arrived so looks like I won't be voting. I don't understand why they don't send them earlier.

Still don't have ours. Local council website says they were dispatched from yesterday.
If it doesn't come tomorrow then we're screwed

SudExpresso · 28/06/2024 20:47

Mine arrived in Italy about 10 days ago. I'm in the UK ironically, so am popping it in the post tomorrow. It seems so random.

Psiren · 28/06/2024 22:01

Mine arrived today. Unfortunately I left the country on Wednesday for a holiday (which is why I wanted a postal vote!) So that's 3 of us not able to vote now. If I'd known it would arrive so late I would have registered for a proxy vote instead. My sister rang to let me know they'd arrived and did she want us to do them but as you have to sign this isn't an option. I'm quite irritated by it, we registered over 3 weeks ago!

There's surely got to be some kind of comeback on this

OrangeBlossomsinthesun · 03/07/2024 14:13

Mine turned up here in Spain this morning. I sent it straight back but under no illusions it will get there in time. I don't understand why they post them so late.
