Mail

Answer

No, it is not allowed. The right to vote for a particular political party is one that you must make yourself freely. It is important that you fill the form in and post it yourself.

It is an offence to impersonate another person at an election and if you know anyone who is doing this you should report the person to your local police station.

Yes, you have to register with the Mail Preference Service. Your name will then be added to a register of households who do not wish to receive unwanted mail. Most Direct Mail companies do abide by this as they do not want to waste time and money sending mail that is not wanted.

There are three ways to register with the Mail Preference Service:

  • via the internet, see website in related information.
  • via the telephone on 0845 703 4599.
  • via the mail at The Mailing Preference Service, DMA House, 70 Margaret Street, London W1W 8SS.

Using the internet to register is a very simple and quick method.

There are several other websites which give more precise advice regarding protective security in relation to the home, and your local crime prevention officer would also be available to advise you. The following points will be of general assistance -

  • A burglar alarm is obviously highly recommended to make your house more secure.
  • Windows and doors with a key operated lock on them.
  • Lights on timer when you are out in the evening.
  • Tell a trusted neighbour if you are going away, who can perhaps draw the curtains on an evening and remember to cancel milk and newspapers.
  • Do not leave windows open if you are out, no matter how small.
  • Have a chain and peep hole on the front door.
  • Fit a restrictor to your letterbox to prevent people putting their hands through the letterbox to retrieve mail or open any locks on the door.
  • Make sure your garden shed is adequately secure.
  • Always keep doors locked even when in the house; an intruder can open the front door and grab your keys/handbag in a matter of seconds.
  • All keys should be kept out of view but in an easily accessible place.

See www.immobilise.com which is a free website that you can use to register any property that has a serial number.
