postal voting boosts turnout - obviously not everyone is as dumb as me, i’m moving to liverpool, sheffield, crewe, nantwich, st albans or swindon as north tyneside’s version doesn’t do it for me.

parts of liverpool and sheffield tested e-voting, including mobile phone text messaging and using local digital television.

parts of crewe and nantwich, st albans and swindon tried internet voting from home, local libraries and council-run information kiosks.

gateshead, north tyneside, stevenage and chorley tested all-postal ballots.<
