Scots to test post votes in Euro pollVOTERS in Scotland now appear certain to be using postal ballots in this year's European elections, it emerged yesterday, following moves to reassure returning officers they will receive the support they need.
Earlier this month the Electoral Commission selected two English regions, East Midlands and the North East, to pilot postal voting for June's poll but made clear that Scotland would have been ideal had it not been for doubts expressed by returning officers about their ability to cope...
Tommy Sheridan of the Scottish Socialists said: "This is a gross example of Labour control-freakery. First they set up an independent Electoral Commission, then they try to subvert its decisions when they don't like them.
"The only reason can be that they cannot motivate their own voters to go out and vote at next June's European election."
