Council must ensure every postal voter gets full ballot paper – MP

Posted on Thursday, May 28, 2009 ·

North Cornwall’s MP has called on Cornwall Council officers to re-issue ballot papers to postal voters.


Some ballots sent to electors who signed up for a postal vote after 6th May have been sent incomplete papers, which omit at least one candidate in their election.

Commenting Mr Rogerson said:


“The Council must make clear immediately that it will ensure every postal voter gets the full ballot paper.

“No voter should be disenfranchised because of officials’ errors.

“The Electoral Services Department cannot sit back and wait for the public to get in touch with them.

“They must identify where mistakes have been made and re-issue ballot papers straight away.”
