GE2019 postal vote data
Dear Torfaen 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
