The recent announcement of a general election on Thursday 8 June means we have six weeks to deliver campaign materials successfully.

It’s important that we all work together to meet customer expectations and ensure a smooth election delivery season.

What you need to do

The distribution of poll cards from Friday 5 May will formally kick-off the election mailings.

Remember the importance of ensuring door-to-door campaign materials and candidates’ mail are delivered on time.
Be aware of any walks that could cross boundaries between two electoral constituencies.
Make use of the ‘stacked’ method of preparation and avoid ‘nesting’ materials inside others.
Colleagues’ questions and concerns on election campaign deliveries will be dealt with as a priority by Operations and Delivery managers.

Keeping you updated

We will provide regular updates including WTLLs, unit TV screens, the intranet and Myroyalmail.com as we count down to the big day.

Trusted by the community

It’s really important that we get this right. We are trusted to deliver election campaign mail when and where we say we will. Last year, we received great recognition for our involvement in the smooth running of the electoral process in the UK. So, let’s deliver another stunning election performance we can all be proud of.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Would it be possible that they could for once,just stop patronising us? It's not much to ask is it really. They can start by referring to us as ,"staff,or,employees", rather than the ingratiatingly patronising, "our people", that really,really grates.

Election material Yes - as D2Ds no. The difference is the D2Ds will come pre-counted.
