Want to help get the Tories out, make sure to vote early

If there is one thing you can do to help Labour to win it is to vote early using a postal vote. I cannot state this enough. It achieves this in several ways:

• It ensures that nothing might happen between now and Election Day which prevents you from getting to a polling station
• Studies have shown more votes are cast for Labour overall when more people register to vote by post
• It saves time on Election Day, letting us focus on reminding other voters to vote (so you won’t have us repeatedly turning up on your doorstep)

Since turning 18, I have voted by post at every election except bar one. It’s quick, easy and helps Labour win.

It’s also a great option for anyone without photo ID as you don’t need one to register or vote by post, but you do now need one to vote at a polling station (you can apply for a free photo ID using this link any time before 5pm on the 26th June).

Any unsent postal votes can be handed-in on the day at any polling station in Crawley, so there’s no risk of not having time to send it.

Around a quarter of voters in Crawley already vote by post, if you would like to join us go to https://www.gov.uk/apply-postal-vote to download a form (a signed copy needs to be returned to the council by 5pm on 19th April, so make sure to apply early).
