Anyone else get multiple voting cards?

layviae

yes one to my adress and the other to my parents address i informed them when i moved out and then again at the last election but they just wont take me off the ballot at my parents address... Its a joke

I keep getting two, I moved within the same apartment block three years ago and I get one for each apartment. I wrote to the returing officer posting in the older voting card after the Local/Euro in 09, Lisbon 2 and this years GE, but still got two again a couple of weeks ago. My first name and surname are rare enough, so there is obviously no sort of manual check.

My neibhbour is Polish, is here since 2000 and got one for the GE and the Presidential election.

Other neighbours get cards at their address from people who moved out a few years ago.

Its a joke, totally daft, it should be PPS linked.

i got 2. delivered to the same house on the same day.

when i rang the local register guy he couldn't understand how it happened. Even though there are 2 different voter numbers.

something fishy going on???

My brother got two but he hasn't lived in the country for three years - do they just pass the cenus data onto historians instead of actually using it?

I got two for the GE and only one at my parents house this time around. Presume if i go to my local polling station with my passport i'll be allowed vote?

My husband got two delivered here, one with his first name then surname, the second is the reverse! We updated our address's 3 years ago and either one or the other of us have had some issue's since then.

I didnt get one yet neither did my wife. I always get 2 one to my house and one to my parents house. This year i got one in my parents house but none to mine. Seems strange to me

Polish neighbour could be a citizen at this stage if they're here that long. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they were not. My cousin got a polling card once when she was 17 and went and voted no problem.

It's an absolutely ridiculous set-up alright. My mam works in a polling station and she says the amount of fùck-ups on the register are unreal. She sends in amendments for her list at every election and they're rarely rectified.

I used to always get two untill I changed my registration from my home address to my own address. One with my middle name, one without.

once your name is on the register, you can go with your passport even if you did not get a voting card - your name will be at the station. and remember = one person, ONE vote
