As the UK General Election draws near, the final push of the campaign is in full swing with less than 48 hours left before polls open. While some may be growing tired of the election leaflets piling up at their doorstep, there are others who are anxiously waiting for more political mail to arrive – specifically, their postal votes. Unfortunately, due to delays, there are concerns that many voters may not get the chance to cast their own vote as their ballots may not arrive in time.
The delays have caught the attention of Postal Affairs Minister, Kevin Hollinrake, who is urgently looking into the issue. This is a critical matter as it could potentially prevent individuals from having their voices heard in this election. Adding to the concern is the fact that some families in Scotland have already left for their summer holidays without receiving their postal votes. While Royal Mail claims to have no backlog, reports of delays in 90 constituencies suggest that there is indeed a problem somewhere along the line. We will be closely monitoring the situation and providing updates on our live blog today.
