I prefer to go to the village hall and place my vote, I would worry that a postal vote might be tampered with, although must admit I am tempted not to vote this time, it has caused such ill feeling in our family
I think postal votes should be done away with, unless you are in the military - which is what it was intended for, are disabled, or are 80 +
I am neither disabled or 80+ but if my postal vote was taken away, I would stop voting..........where my house is situated to the polling station, it is a 20-25 minute walk with a long steep hill to walk up on the way back home.......I have no private transport to make it easier and it is an hourly bus service, there are people that live further away from the polling station than myself..........the polling station used to be a 2 minute walk from my house but in their wisdom they moved it.
That would be your choice Bee, but I don't suppose it will ever happen - too many student votes at risk.
My sympathies Bee. I'm more fortunate in that regard. I just have to walk across the street to the wonderful library we still have. Should they do the same to me I'd be using the postal vote too.
Nothing wrong with students voting, they have to be aged 18 to vote and at 18 they are classed as an adult and old enough to vote and old enough to fight for their country so they have every right to vote.
Correct but there's everything wrong with them voting in their home town and in their university towns too.
Students are allowed to register in their home towns and their university towns but they can only vote once, they have to choose between their home address or their university address in which to vote otherwise they would be breaking the law.
do you think, possibly that of all the illegal immigrants there are in the country that they too will included to vote, as most likely some of them might be living as many as thirty to a room and at the same address,
