I’ve had the privilege of Tom Riordan being my Returning Officer for 14 yrs. I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive, kind-hearted & frankly brilliant RO who has taught me so much. Forever grateful for the opportunity to work with you Tom. One more for the road? 😉🗳️

What you need to know for polling day: ❗ Don’t forget to bring photo ID ✅ Don’t worry if your ID is out of date. You can use out of date photo ID, if it still looks like you and the name is the same as the one you used when you registered to vote.

We'd like to clarify that if a postal voter doesn’t receive their ballot pack, the law prevents a Returning Officer offering any alternative ways for them to vote. However, the RO can issue a replacement pack up until 5pm on polling day. An emergency proxy cannot be granted.

The current postal voting system needs review and improvement. Election teams are doing their very best to run this snap election, but with a short timetable – plus print and delivery suppliers working at capacity – demand is overloading the system. aea-elections.co.uk/communications…

This incredible team - like all council elections teams - successfully delivered a 6 mnth project in 6 wks. This came a short time after they’d run local & mayoral elections. Plse listen to AEA call for snap elections to allow them an extra two weeks’ notice #democracy

Our kids are scared after the horrendous attack in #Southport and this rioting is adding to it. I’m finding it very difficult to explain and to make my son feel safe. Please protest peacefully 🕊️🙏🏼

I’m very lucky to have worked so closely with Tom Riordan for 14 years. You couldn’t meet a more kind, compassionate, understanding & supportive person. To everyone else he was the Chief Exec, but he was my Returning Officer & I will miss him more than I could put into words ❤️

Why would anyone ever think it was acceptable to post a picture of someone’s dead body. Particularly when they have a young child and grieving family and friends. Social and online media in general is beyond control and the world isn’t a nice place because of it #RIPLiam

Important information for postal voters 📬 The way you apply for a postal vote has changed and voters must now renew their postal vote every three years. This means that postal voters who applied before 31 October 2023 must re-apply for their postal vote by 31 January 2026.
