Penyffordd Elections May 2012 - The Postal Vote

I've done an FOIE to find out how much the postal vote matters. Thank you Flintshire County Council.

In 2008 the postal vote was in before my electoral leaflet was printed. Postal votes are bad news for new candidates. In 2008 it was 18 % which is considerable.
