Voter registration day

Amazingly, after the suffering of the Chartists and Suffragettes and, more recently, the battle of black people around the world to get a vote, some people in Britain can't be bothered to register for theirs.  Well I hope they can be bothered to starve, abandon all hope and save up to be ill with a disease that private healthcare won't treat because it's a money loser - 'cos that's what's on the agenda if we don't get some serious change in Election 2015.

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.

Deadline for Voter Registration and Postal Votes

The deadline for registering to vote in the County Elections and for claiming a new postal vote is only FOUR working days away - Wednesday April 17 at 5pm.  If you, or any Labour supporter you know, needs to do either of these things, tell them now.  They need to contact electoral services at Harborough District Council (yes, such is the logic of local government that the District runs County elections) immediately.
