Having spent most of my Saturdays this year hosting maraphones and making a lot of calls to voters, I might have reasonably expected a few weeks off.
However, the Chesham and Amersham by-election is well and truly upon us. The writ was only moved a week ago on Wednesday but already the postal votes are about to go out.
Every election these days has two polling days – when the postal votes land and on the actual day when people go to the polling station. And with more people choosing to vote by post in these Covid times, postal vote polling day is more important than ever. That is why Lib Dem MPs have been heading there this week:
Christine Jardine and Daisy Cooper have also been there in the past few days.
So it stands to reason that we need to speak to as many of these postal voters as possible before they pick up that envelope from their doormats.
