WalkleyIan   10 #109 Posted April 8, 2016 Council doesn't have any cash and yet both my wife and I have received TWO post cards each telling us we are registered to vote by post. Der!!!  Could be because there are 2 elections running on the same day and the system just spits out 2 letters.  I've received my PCC polling card card but not the council election one yet.

Hambeast   10 #110 Posted April 8, 2016 Could be because there are 2 elections running on the same day and the system just spits out 2 letters.  I've received my PCC polling card card but not the council election one yet.  No, got mine on Monday and I only got one polling card: both elections are mentioned on there. And I am a postal voter, you still get a card through reminding you of this at the same time all the other non-postal cards are sent.  In fact you dont even need a polling card to vote, assuming you are on the register.

Eamonn Ward   10 #111 Posted April 8, 2016 All nominated candidates are now listed on the elections page on the council website. Greens (I'm the agent for all of them), Labour and Lib Dems have full council slates of 84. I make it Tory 47, UKIP 42, TUSC 23, Yorkshire First 1 and Independent 1. No doubt Mr Harston (who is on the candidate list) will double check this and confirm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Flanker7   20 #112 Posted April 8, 2016 It still looks a bit pathetic though. Face facts, you live in a generally conservative country.  https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/Local_Elections_2015.png/400px-Local_Elections_2015.png  The role of the UK left is to keep the UK right to the centre, which keeps the UK left out of it and makes them generally unpopular.  I think you're on the wrong thread. This is 'Sheffield local elections'. The Cons can't even post a full list here.  Face facts you live in a Labour/LibDem City. The Conservatives don't even have a role.

He's obviously not very hopeful of becoming a MP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

LeMaquis   10 #117 Posted April 9, 2016 As is the Lib Dem candidate.  And so is the Green, in Hillsborough ward. People can vote for her at ward and constituency level simultaneously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Localman   10 #118 Posted April 12, 2016 Council doesn't have any cash and yet both my wife and I have received TWO post cards each telling us we are registered to vote by post. Der!!!  That's because there are two different election - three in Brightside constituency - and the law requires a Polling Card for each election as the electorates are different.  For example, some people are entitled to vote in the local elections but not in the Parliamentary election.
