More than one leaflet can be sent per household

The rules are 1 addressed leaflet per voter or 1 unadressed per household

Conservatives and Lib Dem in my area have gone for the first two voters listed on the electoral roll for each household.

The others have gone per household.

I take it that means they won't be paying for it - well actually in some areas they aren't paying NOW, so that should be a marker right enough.

Next Election all material will surely come in a sleeve and be classed as part of your d2d's.. Just another way of RM robbing us.. even thou it's the M.O.J that pay us for the pleasure of posting them.

Person in my area was doing an Election Leaflet to which they were getting paid a handsome price of 25p per leaflet, so a wonder how much our wonderful RM are getting for handling these leaflets.. :hmmmm
