Anyone else not received their postal vote?

[PlasticFox]

With all the excitement and preparation I've only just realised I've not received my postal vote yet, I applied within the deadline though I was cutting it fine. Still hoping for tomorrow, but anyone else still waiting for theirs?

[fat_man_joe]

I would like to ditto your entire post. I don't know if that makes you feel any better?

[PlasticFox]

It makes me feel worse to be honest!

[fat_man_joe]

Sorry

I'm going to give them a ring tomorrow, although I'm pretty sure it's now too late to organise an alternative :/

[PlasticFox]

Yeah thinking the same, maybe a pro remain neighbour might proxy vote for me! Oh well, it's hard to be too annoyed when Glastonbury starts tomorrow.. bloody democracy!

[Lucy92]

Can we still register for proxy? I only found out I was going yesterday so haven't made voting arrangements yet

[Joshuwarr]

If it comes tomorrow maybe someone can take it for you in person.

[PlasticFox]

Think deadline for applying to vote by proxy is same as applying for postal vote, but not sure if they're interchangeable?

Check on your council website.  Ours in Sussex told us the day they were due to arrive... if it's passed then get in touch with them 

[fat_man_joe]

I'm Camden council. I will* give them a ring tomorrow and report back.

*intend to

I got an email saying my postal application arrived on their desk too late. I'm sure I posted in time so not sure where it went in the meantime. Fortunately I was in time to sort out a proxy vote,  which has arrived today. Hope my wife isn't a secret Brexiter and will steal my vote.

I think you may be buggered (sadly). If you find your postal vote form you can still hand it in person from select number of polling stations on polling day itself, you will have to check what these are.

I'm southwark, I 'll do the same.

It's one thing if it's just my vote not counted, but as silly as it sounds, as it's on a knive's edge, i'm worried that the collective Vote of all attendees (or lack of) could tilt it!

[Girlwiththemostcake]

I received mine but my husband didn't. I didn't pester him about it as I thought perhaps he hadn't applied after all but today he said "I wonder why my postal vote never arrived". I'm a bit annoyed at him for not pursuing it before now.

[fat_man_joe]

Thanks for the advice guys, fingers crossed!

This is my worry. I hope it's only us few!

You will be able to go to the electoral office at your council in person tomorrow and get a new one. You fill it out there and hand it straight back to them. I had to do this yesterday because mine didn't arrive and there were a few other people there doing the same.

It'll be too late for you to register for a proxy vote now.

I'm still waiting for my postal vote and I'm setting off tomorrow. I do believe though that applications for emergency proxy votes are open until 23rd?

I believe this require being able to show extenuating circumstances, not receiving a postal vote would be one I imagine.

As long as it's at the appropriate electoral registration office before 5PM on day of the election, this form should get you  an emergency proxy vote:
