Providing you have clearly ticked a box, it will be counted.This morning I did my usual fasting finger prick test at about 7am, then hours later started to fill in my postal vote form. Suddenly there were splashes of blood in several places. Efforts to wipe them off failed. Now I am wondering if Health and Safety regs will mean my vote cannot be counted. Does anyone have any ideas about this?
As long as you’ve voted for Labour you should be okay.This morning I did my usual fasting finger prick test at about 7am, then hours later started to fill in my postal vote form.

I wouldn't worry about it but if practical you can always hand your postal vote in to any polling station in your own area/county up to 10 pm on the day. (Not too close to 10 pm please, we will have been in the cold church halls since soon after 6 amThis morning I did my usual fasting finger prick test at about 7am, then hours later started to fill in my postal vote form.

If you are going to go to a electoral station you may as well vote on a non bloody one there, forget handing the bloody one in.I wouldn't worry about it but if practical you can always hand your postal vote in to any polling station in your own area/county up to 10 pm on the day.

If you do this don't seal it until you have spoken to the election officers.They will be able to help. Don't show them who you have voted for though.
Totally agree.. I tend to do it in my local polling station whilst walking the dog..If you are going to go to a electoral station you may as well vote on a non bloody one there, forget handing the bloody one in.
Hi, the records will show that you have been sent a postal vote and a standard voting paper can not be handed out. Neither can a daughter ask mum to vote for whoever on the day because she can't be bothered to get out of bedIf you are going to go to a electoral station you may as well vote on a non bloody one there, forget handing the bloody one in.
I postal vote here in Australia where voting is compulsory unlike the UK, if I was in the OP position I would send the ballot paper back as is and take my chances on it being accepted.Hi, the records will show that you have been sent a postal vote and a standard voting paper can not be handed out.

This link might help @Alexandra100 :You should be able to get a replacement from the council offices, google yours for details.

Maybe you could put your form in a clear plastic bag (ie food bag) then fold and put in envelope. Include a note as to why it's in the bag, ie so they don't need to touch it (H&S) but can see your vote when they open the envelope
I would have thought that would cover it from all angles
If it hasn't been sent by now it is probably too late anyway.One could try "blotting" the marks out with a good stain removing agent & allow it to dry?

I presume it’s a fair distance to the “local” polling station?I postal vote here in Australia where voting is compulsory unlike the UK, if I was in the OP position I would send the ballot paper back as is and take my chances on it being accepted.
