Postal Voting

Post by Orientnil »

Being out of the country on July 4th, I applied for a postal vote. The forms arrived yesterday at 11.00 am; I filled them in and got to the Bureau de Poste just in time for the mid-day collection. 'Couldn't have done much more but I don't think my ballot paper will arrive in time to count. Effectively, I will have been denied my right to vote. Are any of you in the same boat?

No, was sufficiently organised to ensure my vote was received in plenty of time.

What happens if someone posts a vote and then croaks before 4th July? Would it be illegal?

My guess is yes because he was obviously alive when voting .
