All outstanding postal votes in York “should arrive on doorsteps” by Monday (July 1), the council said.

City of York Council said it is aware that “some postal votes” have not arrived due to country-wide delivery issues.

“We have contacted Royal Mail who have advised that all remaining packs should arrive on doorsteps by Monday 1 July,” a council spokesperson said.

They added that the council’s team is “continuing to work hard to support those getting in touch with [them]”.

“Royal Mail prioritise returning postal votes but they should be completed and returned asap.”

The council urges anyone who has not had a postal vote by Tuesday to call: 01904 551007 or email: electoral.services@york.gov.uk to arrange a way to “quickly reissue your postal vote so that you will be able to return it before election day”.

Justice Thomas Goes Rogue on Trump Immunity Case, Pushes to Ditch Special Prosecutors

In his opinion, Thomas asked the lower courts to render a ruling on Smith and the legality of the special prosecutor’s office before they proceed with Donald Trump’s pair of federal criminal cases that Smith’s team is prosecuting.

Supreme Court gives Trump some immunity in Jan. 6 case but not for 'unofficial' acts
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday said former President Donald Trump is entitled to some immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken to overturn results of the 2020 election but sent the case back to the trial court to sort out which charges can stand, effectively delaying any potential trial until after the November election. The 6-3 opinion was written by Chief Justice John Roberts. Trump had claimed "absolute immunity" for all his actions, but Roberts noted that, "Trump asserts a far broader immunity than the limited one we have recognized."

Voters kick all the Republican women out of the South Carolina Senate
The only three Republican women in the South Carolina Senate took on their party and stopped a total abortion ban from passing in their state last year. Sandy Senn, Penry Gustafson and Katrina Shealy from office during sparsely turned out primaries in June, and by doing so completely vacated the Republican wing of the five-member “Sister Senators," a female contingent that included two Democrats and was joined in their opposition to the abortion ban. For Republicans, the departure of Senn, Gustafson and Shealy likely means there will be no women in the majority party of state Senate when the next session starts in 2025.

Emmanuel Macron is about to become unbearable
His party faces near-annihilation in the National Assembly, with fewer seats than Rishi Sunak’s Tories can hope for later this week. His prime ministers, past and present, could not find hard enough words in private to describe his “suicidal” snap election decision since he took it three weeks ago. Marine Le Pen was quick to claim an historic victory as her National Rally came first in yesterday’s first round of the legislative elections, with 33 per cent of the vote.
