“Following the delivery last week of 17,500 postal votes across York, we’ve had returned and are processing over 77% of these already.
This means we’re on track to see a much higher return for postal votes than in any other previous election.
“Should any residents have not received their postal vote and have not already contacted the council about this, they should contact electoral.services@york.gov.uk or call 01904 551 550 to speak to the team, so that we can look into what has happened and seek to find a solution in time for them to vote.
Our customer centre reception and telephone service is staying open to 7pm tonight to ensure maximum opportunity for residents to get in touch.
“Residents who have received their postal vote can post this by 4pm in a York post box, hand deliver it to the – Returning Officer at West Offices, Station Rise, York – during office hours or hand deliver it to any polling station in their constituency on polling day up to 10pm.
“I’d also like to reassure any residents who have not yet received their ballot paper or who no longer have their ballot paper for any reason, but are registered to vote, that they can still vote at any polling station in their constituency on polling day tomorrow”.
You did not send out my son’s postal ballot – he is working away, so cannot call at your offices. We have called 01904 551 550 (as suggested above) more than once, but in spite of staying in all day for a reply, no one can be bothered to return our calls!
Is it just rural addresses that are being dis-enfranchised? Is this because we might not support the right party?
We will pass this on to the Returning Officer
