The reality is that you can’t always predict what is going to happen on polling day.

There can be terrible weather.  People like Mary might have to work late.  People often have to look after children or grandchildren.  They can fall ill or just be too busy to vote.

It’s why postal voting is becoming more and more popular.  It means you get the chance to vote, whatever happens on polling day. With the upcoming council election looking so close, we know every single vote really will count.
If you sign up for a postal vote then your ballot paper will be delivered to your home about 2-3 weeks before polling day.  You can vote in the comfort of your own home, at a time that suits you.  You then put your completed ballot paper in the envelope provided and stick it in the post – you don’t even need a stamp.
Getting is postal vote is quick and easy.  All you have to do is download this online form, print  and complete it.  You send this directly to:

Electoral Registration Officer, 17A South Gyle Crescent, Edinburgh EH12 9FL   
It couldn’t be easier.  It’s why thousands of local people now vote by post.  I know Mary has now signed up for a postal vote too.

Registering for a postal vote now will mean that, whatever happens on 4 May, you won’t miss your chance to vote.
