I can only comment on St. Brelade No.2 The electorate is about 4,980. I had 6 postal votes in 2005.

That seems like a very small amount given the number of elderly at nursing homes like Maison St Brelade or Field House, or just living alone, but with no easy transport to the polls. Either St Brelade's must have a very good ferrying system and I don't believe it could be that good, or these people are not getting out to vote (or even on the electoral list). And what of the students who were 18 and eligible at the last election?

Statistically, it is worrying that there are so few postal votes in St Brelade. It looks like people are missing the vote.

Hi,

It may be that St. Brelade does not manipulate postal votes !  I did not visit Maison St. Brelade or Field House on purpose for that reason. I did visit the Matron of Maison St. Brelade this morning .  For a completely different reason and other reasons, we had a laugh  over  Stuart Syvret's post about the "Rose of Tralee Escort Service" .
