In a supposed attempt to increase voter turnout the Blair administration is to introduce Postal Voting in the four Euro-regions of England - the North East, North West, Yorkshire & Humber and the East Midlands - as Pilot Schemes for the local elections and Euro elections on Thursday 190th June 2004. On 1st April the Electoral Commission and they advised that agreement had been reached that all four aforementioned regions will have postal voting only (they were awaiting Royal Assent) - but there will be "drop off points" for those who physically wish to hand over their vote - but these will not be polling stations. We were advised that the postal voting will be like earlier postal votes - i.e.; one will have a ballot paper, a voting envelope and a reply paid envelope into which one will place the voting envelope which will contain the completed ballot slip. The authorities are expecting voters to complete and post off by dropping these envelopes in their nearest pillar box. However we had an idea. What if one was to go to your local post office and send it by recorded delivery. You would have to pay the 65 pence recorded delivery fee but imagine hundreds or thousands of votes arriving like this. Since I operate a mail order business I can confirm that every recorded delivery mail item has to be separately signed for. If enough of us do this in the four affected areas it will teach Blair a lesson he will not forget anytime soon.
