Which brings us nicely to this...It is this lack of advance planning time and the dynamics of this particular election which is bound to create pressure points during the countdown to election day. We are concerned that there could be heavy deliveries in the final run-up to the election.
Please plan for peak days over these next few weeks. Anticipate high volumes of candidates’ mail. It is vital to ensure we do our best to manage candidates’ mail and deliver it on time and to the required specification.

With just three days to go until the country goes to the polls, we need one last push to do the best job we can in delivering election mail, for our customers and our reputation.
Please ensure every piece of mail is delivered by Wednesday 7 June. Election materials should not be delivered on polling day, Thursday 8 June.
Please know the target date for delivery of candidates’ mail consignment and ensure the campaign mailings are delivered by that date. Deliver what candidates’ mail you can as soon as it comes in. There will always be more the next day, so it’s good practice to clear as much as possible, as soon as possible.
Make sure your delivery performance is updated daily for each consignment on Candidates Mail Tracker (CMT).
Best endeavours
Some candidates’ mailing may have been accepted on a best endeavours basis.
Please make every effort to deliver these mailings and give priority to items that are still within their target date.
Remember – it’s really important that we don’t nest any election material. Please ensure leaflets are placed one on top of the other for delivery.
Thank you for doing a great job throughout this election period – we’re almost there!
all because of a lazy **** floater.
