We had election material turn up today in our office, Labour. We were instructed to deliver these items. I was on the understanding it was illegal to do so. Is this true??
If so, then surely management have committed an offence.

As far as I know, if the election material was DSA, then yes it has to be delivered as its classed as live mail. But pretty sure, if its the stuff we get paid for, then it does not get delivered on polling day. I could be wrong and I have known to be...

I saw two women canvassing today with leaflets, I didn,t think that was allowed on an election day.

I know the election is over, but i checked this up.
In RM's guide to candidates it states we do not deliver on polling day

We aim to deliver Addressed candidate mail within three working
days and Unaddressed candidate mail within seven working days
(excluding the day of handover) to the Royal Mail Drop Off Point,
Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays.

Please note: No mailing will be delivered on polling day.

take note for future elections

We were still delivering addressed political shite yesterday. DOM said it was paid for, not our fault it came to us late and to just deliver it. I got a few bemused looks when handing them over with packets
