Helen Briggs the returning officer for Rutland County Council delays the nomination proccess.
She has sent out forms with a major error. An alteration on the form would remder the form invalid.
Why at every election is she permitted to make such serious mistakes?
2011 saw her receive guidance from the election commissioner.
Anyone who has collected signatures this weekend using the form provided has wasted their time.
Is it not time Rutland appointed a truly independent returning officer and not the Tory Chief Executive Helen Briggs?
I have spoken to various members of the public this weekend about standing on the 27th June 2013 for the Ketton by-election they all say whats the point she will fix it.
Remembering her conduct and the Rutland Tories conduct in the 2011 election count its not surprising people say these things.
I am going to attempt to obtain a new nomimation form ASAP from Rutland County Council not an easy task when police have banned me from the council building.
At the moment it is looking like the Tories will once again get in with out a fight at the ballot box.
Unless they have submitted the invalid form?
