UK Election - May 6th

[simoragn]

So am now registered as overseas voter, and looking forward to the forthcoming election.

I will miss the election night TV coverage however. Does anyone know of any channels that might be showing any here? BBC world for instance?

How about BBC iPlayer? I'm not sure if it can be accessed from NZ.

[simoragn]

Nope - only radio. Well, unless you employ some internet alchemy...

[Sun777]

Oh, and what about sharing Sky.com login details? Sky player might just do the trick

First debate is on Thursday on ITV (in the UK). Next one is Sky, with BBC showing the final one.

I'm in the audience for the 1st one.

We changed our vote to a postal one before moving over here last year.

[simoragn]

Just proxy or postal options as far as I know - I went for postal.

Do you think that you will have time to actually vote?

The postal vote is only sent out 7 days before the election and it usually takes 4 days to get to NZ from UK and the same back?

Well, it's actually 11 days. But still a good point. Hmmmmm...
