Voting

[Reds]

Hi all

When someone has Alzheimer's and are not interested in voting anymore do they still have to register to vote and receive voting cards? If not what is the procedure to advise someone is ill and won't want to vote anymore?

I've asked this question once too! Seems it's almost impossible to remove someone from the system.

There is a benefit on being on the electoral register in that it improves your credit rating.

I thought the reason you got a reduction in council tax for mental impairment was because you were not able to make an informed decision and therefore unable to vote.

Yes brambles, it does seem stupid doesnt it
Just because you are on the electoral register it doesnt mean that you have to vote. Reds, if they doent want to/cant vote anymore you can just ignore the voting cards.


BTW Pegsdaughter, I had to giggle over your reply as I dont think mum is going to worry about her credit rating any more

The other important thing about being on the electoral register is that it is used to help check entitlement to benefits such as care assistance, housing benefit - even nursing home applications.
