The distribution of postal votes nationally has been hit by delays, but Royal Mail has confirmed that all packs in the two constituencies should be delivered tomorrow (Saturday) or Monday.
Due to these delays, we have taken the following steps:
From today (28 June), and over the weekend, voters in the Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale and Dumfries and Galloway constituencies who have yet to receive their postal votes – and will not be at home next week – should contact [email protected] or call our dedicated helpline immediately on 01387 260008. The helpline will be staffed between 9am and 3pm Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 June.A small number of people who haven’t received their postal vote but will not be at home next week in the Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale and Dumfries and Galloway constituencies have already been in touch with our council and we are reissuing them with a voting pack.We have posted updates on our website, social media and issued a media statement.
We are prioritising those who will not be at home next week. If you will be at home next week, please wait for delivery and only contact us early next week if you still haven’t received your voting pack.
The Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale Constituency covers parts of the Dumfries and Galloway, Scottish Borders and South Lanarkshire Council areas. The Dumfries and Galloway Constituency lies within the Dumfries and Galloway Council area only.
