Still not recd mine.
According to the electoral services office they were sent out on 19-20 June via Royal Mail.
They won’t send out replacements until tomorrow if you havnt recd yours ring 01730 234350
Trusting Royal Mail to deliver them in time? Unlikely
If by chance a replacement arrives before Thursday will have to visit a polling station to cast vote
No postal vote no vote as too late to revert to voting in public
Another fine mess
Be interested to know if anyone else is in this situation or is it me !!
Thanks

The sooner Amazon takes over the postal service the better we’ll all be. Jeff will show them how it should be handled.

For those who've only just received their postal voting forms and have missed today's collection time for their local postbox (ours is collected at 9.00am):
The post box outside the Millennium Hall has a later collection time than many of the other posting boxes, which is useful to know.
I think it's collected at around 4.00pm, so there's still plenty of time to get your forms in the post today.

Ours have finally arrived today on Haslemere Road. Good suggestion from J in the above post but I believe the sorting office on Portsmouth Road has the latest collection in the area (5pm I think) so that might be your best bet. Fingers crossed they get back in time!

We can't vote, we went on holiday yesterday and they arrived today! Can't ask our son to do proxy vote either as registered for postal vote.
This is not good enough EHDC it's not our fault you can't get your act together.

I heard something about delayed postal voting forms on the Today programme this morning. Unfortunately, it seems that the reliance on Royal Mail might be a big part of the problem. Mail simply isn't getting delivered quickly enough.
The simple answer, surely, would be to send the voting forms out much earlier.

Postal votes are a nonsence..should be restricted to disabled and forces abroad

Pp why are postal votes pointless, there is no reason for them to be restricted, I am in my 20s and have had to get a postal vote due to my commitments outside of the UK, postal votes are important they support democracy.
The far right need to stop putting up blockades for democracy, first it was Voter ID now this.
