Restrict postal voting to those on disability benefits and the over 70s.
With confidence in postal votes so low, after multiple reports of student double voting & postal turnout far exceeding in person turnout, in many marginals, system needs urgent reform.
Polling stations open for 15 hours, ensuring able bodied & those working have no genuine need for postal votes.
