I got the form, only it wasnt a postal vote application, it was a proxy vote application meaning that they would go and put my vote in for me!!
Luckily i read everything first and didnt send it off.
Just thought i would warn ppl!

Very concerned about this. If it's Labour/Hyndburn. I want to know about this right away. PLease PM privately. What ward was it?
Normally there are between 3 -12 proxy votes per ward. Never higher. Last year one climbed alarmingly to 20 and after checking it semed ok,
However in 2006 against Gayle, Peter Britcliffe had 44 proxy votes.
