Unclear election mail delivery timelines cause candidate concerns despite high success rates

Conclusion
We appreciate the Royal Mail’s assurances that over 99% of all election mail was delivered on time. However, we are concerned that despite this a number of candidates felt their messaging was not delivered when they expected. To ease concerns for candidates, timelines for delivery of different materials should be clear and tight. (Conclusion, Paragraph 108)
