If you are still on the electoral roll, get yourself a postal vote

If you are not on the roll, get on it here.
the About My Vote website said:
Every British citizen who has been registered to vote in the UK within the last 15 years is eligible to vote in the UK general election on 6 May 2010.

If you were too young to register when you left the UK, you can still register as an overseas voter so long as your parent or guardian was registered to vote in the UK and you left the UK within the last 15 years.

Apparently the postal votes will only be sent OUT 4 days before the election, so they'll arrive late and there'll be no time to send them back in time to be counted. As has been done on purpose by Gordon the moron Broon with our forces in A-Stan as they all vote conservatively... Damn twisting slimy cheating socialist Labour swine!

Doesn't stop you signing up for a proxy vote. I always had my parents vote on my behalf whilst away.

Thanks for the advice, guys.

It looks like I'll need to do the proxy vote I guess.

How the hell can they send them out so late????

Well, you don't need to worry because your local Labour party will cast your vote for you......... At least, in some parts of the country..........
