Dear community.
Once again It looks likely I will be excluded from voting. Which is a shame I have followed with keen interest our local councils meetings. Our Mayor has rather shown excellent leadership. His business back ground and raising millions for charities he founded. Has helped keep my town from going into bankruptcy. Very impressed although he never had time to chat to me. I witnessed on line his excellent diplomatic skills so I've not took his lack of time as personal but unfortunately he's lost my vote and possibly more due to accessing out to vote and to post the vote back.
Again disappointingly a disabled person is excluded. I worked for our council too. Welcome to my world... I gather many people have similar issues.
Its everyone right to vote is it not?
Frustrating...

Hi @SurvivorEmpowered I'm sorry to read about how frustrated you are feeling.
Would you mind if I asked what barriers you face when it comes to voting, whether in person or by postal vote?Online Community Coordinator

Hi @SurvivorEmpowered I can't quite remember the circumstances but I was in hospital and given a postal vote, so please check this out with your local council. Also, where I live, all polling stations are disabled-friendly. So you may want to check this out as well? You have an absolute right to vote and your council needs to make sure they give you this right in one way (a postal vote) or another i.e being able to physically vote at a polling station.
