I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I forgot to send our Voter Registration Form in until today (14th April 2010)! Eldest son is at University so if he wants to vote he’ll have to register himself, so had I not got it in it would be myself and the wife that can’t vote on […]

I completely understand, I am now in a made panic about making sure my partner and I are registered. However we are getting married on May 1st, so do I register us under our married names or not? I mean why is it so complicated to vote anyway. They complain they don’t get the number of voters they ask for but if it wasn’t so hard it could be done in seconds. My partner and I work oposite shifts so that there is someone to look after the children all the time as child care is rediculous, so even going up to the local school to vote is hard because Chris is home in the day while i’m at work and i’m home at night while he’s at work… I’ve registered us for postal votes now as that seems to be easier but the site aboutmyvote.co.uk got me the same way it did you…. why can’t we just vote online?? wouldn’t that make everything tick easier??
It’s enough to make us not want to vote!!!

Well, we got our form in (admittedly it was on the 20th, for which I am also embarrassed) and the council are saying we submitted it too late. We know it got there on time as we handed it to them ourselves.
I asked the lady on the phone if we were the only people ringing up to complain about this and she didn’t reply and said she’ll escalate it to her boss, although “he’s very busy”.
They were able to sent my wife and I a letter to say we were too late 11 days before the election. How does that work? To say I’m a little outraged is an understatement. They just don’t care!
