A NUMBER of voters in Weaver Vale, Eddisbury and Tatton have not yet received their postal votes for tomorrow's general election.

A spokesman from Vale Royal Borough Council said the council had operated to strict guidelines during the issue of postal votes.

Everyone who requested a postal vote had been issued with their packs in time to return them by May 5.

She said: "However, if the Post Office fails to deliver anyone's postal vote in the appropriate timeframe then the council is willing to put in place special measures to ensure that no one is denied the opportunity to vote.

"To be reissued with a vote, people should visit the council's offices at Wyvern House, Winsford by 5pm on Wednesday, May 4, with two forms of identity confirming their name and address or one form of photo identity."

Around 370 voters in Tatton have been affected.

A spokesman for Macclesfield Borough Council, said: "I can confirm that the steps taken to resolve the situation are taking effect and replacement postal voting packs were either delivered yesterday or are being delivered today.

"The extra delivery points put in place throughout the borough to help ensure that postal votes could be returned as quickly as possible are now being used by people wanting to drop off their papers."
