I tried to change from postal vote to proxy yesterday before the deadline- you can’t if you have a postal vote that has been ‘sent’, even if you haven’t received your ballot papers. 
 
	We are out of the country now until 5th so 2 of us in our household have lost the ability to vote because of the combined inadequate Royal Mail service and the inability for Southwark electoral council to anticipate or work around a postal problem they are well aware of and has been on national news.
 
	I have emailed all 3 of our local councillors this week and Ellie Reaves and had no response. 
 
	I worry that any postal votes being sent from our local area won’t even get back in time for the count. I feel this needs to be taken further.
