Thinking about the Euro campaign
It appears the date for the Euro elections is Thursday May 22 2014. Apparently there are some changes to electoral procedure, due to come into force for the Euros but applicable to all elections, one of which we need to build into our campaign planning.
The key change is that postal votes should now be issued a.s.a.p. after the close of nominations. Thus people could potentially be casting their vote from the very beginning of the traditional campaigning period. We have to start canvassing earlier and we need to put together some material, ready to drop through letterboxes, several weeks in advance.
The other changes mainly relate to the technicalities of postal voting and are of no real consequence for us. One change I find reassuring after the 2010 fiasco is that people queuing at a polling station at 10pm should still be allowed to vote, even though by the time they do so the polls have officially closed.

Swiftway Polling Station Closed!!!
The polling station at the Swiftway Centre is not going to be available on 2nd May. Instead voters will have to make their way to The Pavilion on the Coventry Road Recreation Ground. Harborough DC did not realise that the building was not in a fit state to use until they came to deliver the ballot boxes for storage.
Obviously this could affect voting; particularly for the less mobile.
HDC are reissuing polling cards, and there will be extensive information on the day redirecting voters. This, however, is not good enough and we are to press them to provide transport; something that they suggested that we should do. If you live in the area and need help, let us know, or, if you are in a position to assist someone else we would be very grateful.
We can win this, but it will be close and every vote will be crucial. Please help us get the vote out and send this government a message that crushing the poorest whilst giving an easy ride to the most wealthy is not acceptable.
