## Resource

The Electoral Commission is ditching the mail for digital voting info—starting this year, if you have an email on file, your EasyVote card and candidate list will arrive there instead of by post. With postal delays mounting and digital outreach already in the works, this move aims to streamline voting access. But critics warn it could leave older voters and those with disabilities behind—especially since it’s automatic, not opt-in. The Commission says they’ve warned about this shift and will fall back to mail or text if digital fails. Still, the real question remains: is this change truly inclusive—or does it risk silencing parts of the electorate?
