I've got some casual work opening postal votes for Thursday's elections (mayor and crime commissioner in this area). Can I just remind everyone to check that they fill their forms in correctly? It's such a shame that people's votes can't be counted because they forget to sign the form or put the wrong date on. It's your date of birth they need not the date you filled the form in.
I know the forms have too much writing on and it's not always easy to understand what you have to do. It's not the end of the world if the bit that says don't detach gets detached or if you have to fold the voting slip to get it in the envelope but do try to get the signature and date of birth bit right so that your vote will count.
It's interesting seeing how the opening and checking process happens - lots of counting involved and we haven't got to the actual votes yet!
