GE2019 postal vote data

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Antrim and Newtownabbey District Council,

I would like to make an FOI request for voter data from the 12th December 2019 General Election. Specifically, I would like the following info:

- how many people were registered to vote by post in your constituency?
- how many postal votes were received?
- how many votes were marked as invalid?
- what was the result of the postal vote by party? If easier, just including the top 3 parties is fine.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours faithfully,

Donovan Kiddick
