Listers,

past midnight, and what is worrying is they have all your details, from
county through to ward and the polling centre.

details with aspirants?
Throwing a BIG SPANNER into the gearbox... Dead people appear to have
*RESURRECTED!
*I checked details of a relative who has been dead for almost 10years but
they appear to be voters!
Regards
Twahir
