Away from home May 23rd

[vrdiver]

Family situation means that I will be away from home on May 23rd and thus unable to vote in person.

Is there any (legal) way to vote, or is it a case of "tough luck"...?

You could have applied to vote by proxy but it's too late, it had to be in by May 15th. https://www.yourvotematters.co.uk/how-d ... g-by-proxy

It's also too late to apply for a postal vote.

So I think it's tough luck.

Half the population have already voted by postal vote. I did mine over a week ago but still the Parties don't seem to have recognised that they are now to late to have any impact.

I vote by post and spoiled my paper for the first time in my life. I am so disgusted with the lot that I could not do anything else. On the postal vote though, I do not much like it as it removes what always felt like exercising one's democratic right by turning up at a polling station.

you need to be prepared otherwise you might end up as disconnected as our MPs

Likewise, for first time I spoiled my vote. Just want it to be over. I got postal vote as i used to out of the country alot and just let it carry on.

Agree. Unfortunately an unforseen situation has occurred which means I'm now going to be away on the 23rd.

Ah well, if there are any non Lib-Dem voters who'd like to pair with my vote, a la Westminster, we could restore a small piece of democracy
