Voting time - post your envelope early so we don’t stress out the postal folks.

When you drop your voting papers into a postbox, the mail folks need to clear the postbox, sort the mail and get your votes to the right place by Saturday 8 October.

So how about posting your envelope by, Tuesday 4 October?
