GE2019 postal vote data

The request was successful.

Dear Wirral Metropolitan Borough 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

Dalton, Chelsea, Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council

Dear Mr Kiddick,

 

Thank you for your recent request submitted under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.

 

Please see our response below:

 

Postal Voter data from the 12th December 2019 General Election is as
follows:

 

Constituency Postal Votes Postal Votes Invalid
Issued Received
Birkenhead 10,027 8,569 427
Wallasey 12,182 10,550 429
Wirral South 10,739 9,587 333
Wirral West 12,545 11,220 318

 

Unfortunately, postal vote figures can't be broken down by party.  They
are verified by constituency and then mixed with the relevant constituency
polling station ballot papers before being sorted into candidates/parties
so they cannot be identified as postal vote ballot papers.

 

 

I trust this will assist you with your enquiries.

 

You have the right under Section 17 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000
to ask for an internal review if you are dissatisfied with the information
provided to you. Please direct any request for an internal review to
[1][Wirral Borough Council request email] and your request will be allocated for
review.

 

Yours sincerely,
