There, I've done it, popped my postal votes in the postbox

[Peaceflower]

It's a relief, made my decision and voted. I can now ignore all the campaigning noises, it's too late to change my mind.

Am I the first to cast my vote?

DH did his yesterday. Mine is on the side waiting for me to do it.

I'm doing mine tomorrow but its only for the local elections as I'm voting in the general in person so I still feel like I have to listen to the campaigning stuff.

Voted for both council and parliament. Postal voting is great!

did mine yesterday

Yep, did ours yesterday, now when they come knocking on the door at 7pm, I can tell them not to waste their breath

JTGB precisely!

Am still waiting for mine! I even put a note on the request form to say I was out of the country from 29th so please could I have it before then...still no sign..

Will be mightily pissed off if I don't get it!

Could I sue??

did mine friday, local and national. now just have to ignore the next 2 wks of news, interviews and debates and nutters knocking on the door

my postal vote hasn't arrived yet - we're away from friday, hope it comes before then!

fluffles: perhaps you should ring your council and ask if you can have a proxy vote if it doesn't arrive - ie someone else can vote on your behalf. Don't know if there is a deadline for arranging that but they should be able to tell you

fluffles, sorry to hear you haven't received your postal vote. It might be just campaign fluff, but I had a call from a conservative campaigner on Saturday, asking me if I had received my postal ballot. He claimed lots of people had said they hadn'treceived theirs.

hmm... we did get letters saying we'd been granted the postal votes. i will check them to see if they gave a deadline for them arriving...

Our letter said they'd arrive "on or after" Tuesday 27th, and to contact them if they hadn't arrived by Friday 30th - do check your letter to see whether it said the same. Ours actually turned up this morning, so I'll probably do it when I get in. Vote early, vote often! that's my motto....

Yep. We got ours done and dusted at the weekend, too.

We haven't received ours Don't think we've recieved a letter about them either.. hmm, this isn't good.

Had the lib dems checking today to see if I'd received my papers. None of their business, don't know why it's public info how someone's going to vote.

Just realised I am away on business on polling day and too late to get postal vote. Feel very conflicted - relieved at not having to make momentous decision as to which government next, but disenfranchised and frustrated at the same time.

Ah well, I know I can trust Mumsnetters to make the right decision (whatever it ends up being)

I received my postal vote but only one ballot paper - seems to be for local candidates only...should I be getting one for national also??

Bollocks. They haven't got our postal votes

yes PJC you will get two. we got our local one last week and the national ones today. i thought for a moment they had double-sent and nearly binned the second lot. oops...
