Recommendation 32
32
Replace two-batch postal ballot dispatch with rolling system and widely publish dates
Conclusion
Currently postal ballot packs are dispatched in two batches. This should be replaced with a system where, following the first dispatch, ballot packs are printed and dispatched on a rolling basis. The first and last dispatch dates should be widely published and voters should be notified when applying. (Recommendation, Paragraph 104)
