We have been made aware of an error in the address of a candidate on postal ballot papers issued to voters in the Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale Constituency.
This error has occurred due to an administrative oversight on our part. We have apologised for this error by writing to all postal voters affected in the above constituency.
Postal voters have been assured that their postal vote remains valid and have been asked to return their completed postal ballot paper and postal voting statement – as normal in the reply-paid envelope already provided.
Any voter who has already returned their postal vote does not need to take any action.
The wrong address was indicated for candidate Daniel Coleman. The correct addresses for all candidates are as follows:
ASHMOLE, Dominic
Address in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale Constituency
BEGG, Drummond
Address in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale Constituency
COLEMAN, Daniel
Address in the City of Edinburgh
KIRK, Gareth
Address in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale Constituency
KIRKWOOD, David Alexander
Address in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale Constituency
MARSHALL, Kim
Address in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale Constituency
MUNDELL, David Gordon
Address in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale Constituency
Again, this does not affect the validity of postal voters’ ballot papers in this constituency. The full list of candidates and correct addresses are included on the Notice of Poll available on Dumfries and Galloway Council’s website at – Notice of poll UKPGE (dumgal.gov.uk).
Information and advice has been published on Dumfries and Galloway Council’s website and through social media.
We have consulted with the Electoral Management Board and the Electoral Commission for Scotland, and they are content with the action we have taken.
If you have any concerns, please get in touch by calling us on 030 33 33 3000 or by emailing electionsoffice@dumgal.gov.uk.
