Postal voting packs have started to arrive through Dumfries and Galloway letterboxes ahead of the by-election on Thursday 17 November. Voters who have registered to vote by post will now receive their voting packs through. The Annandale North by-election will take place on Thursday 17 November.
Postal voters are encouraged to send back their vote so that it is received in good time. They can decide who they are voting for now. So, as soon as they have completed their ballot paper, it should be put it in the envelope with the postal vote statement and post it back.
Gavin Stevenson, Returning Officer for Dumfries and Galloway Council advises postal voters:
“When you receive your postal voting pack, make sure you read and follow the instructions carefully before completing your ballot paper. Don’t forget to include your date of birth and signature on the postal voting statement (unless you have been granted a waiver). Follow the instructions in the pack to make sure your vote counts.”
