Given the number of queries that come my way, I thought I’d try a little public information film:

A good video explaining things, however as one 90 year old said to me on the doorstep (who has two votes this year, local council and referendum) she finds the whole thing very complicated!
Going through North Wales yesterday (and seeing the posters up in fields) I notice they have the referendum and Welsh Assembly elections on the same day. Although I saw Labour, Tory and Plaid Cymru posters sadly there were no Lib Dem ones. :/
When you have two or more ballot papers (often attached to the verification statement), the person has to vote on the ballot papers, detach from the PVS. Put the ballot papers in envelope A.
Where I am the verification statement for the postal vote has the return address preprinted on it and envelope B has a window (not a pre-printed address), so the voter has to make sure that envelope A isn’t in front of the verification statement.
I suppose this is to make sure people don’t send the ballot papers back without the verification statement.
However, postal votes are useful for people away on holiday, students (who may not be at home and can specify a different address in a different part of the country) and anyone who’d have trouble getting to a polling station (whether distance, mobility, work, caring responsibilities, children etc).
I must say that anyone capable of voting successfully by post cannot possibly claim that AV is ‘too complicated’! So I can only assume that all postal voters will have said ‘Yes’… 😉
