Postal voters must not lose their democratic right to vote
Commenting on the fact that several people across Cornwall have received incomplete ballot papers for the local and European elections on Thursday 4th June, Dan Rogerson said:
“This situation is simply unacceptable at a time when people are already feeling seriously disillusioned with the whole political process.
“There are many people who will be considering not voting at all and it is the responsibility of the Council to make every effort to encourage people to still take part in elections, not to make it even more difficult.
“Cornwall Council must now take steps to ensure that people are able to vote with no problems, whether this be by allowing people that did have postal votes to register their choice at polling stations or by immediately re-issuing ballot papers.”
