I have received an update from the national Labour Party:

Reminder emails have now been sent to all those who have yet to vote. Any members who have not yet received their ballot should look out for an email from labourelections@civica.co.uk with the subject line ‘REMINDER: THIS IS YOUR EMAIL BALLOT FOR THE LEADERSHIP ELECTION’. As previously, please make sure you check your spam/junk folder as well as your main inbox.

Due to the possible impact of coronavirus on both the Labour Party and suppliers, the Procedures Committee have agreed that the deadline for requesting postal vote re-issues will be brought forward to Monday 23 March (noon). This will allow as much as possible of the more labour intensive process of paper ballot distribution and administration to be completed ahead of any further restrictions being introduced.

For the first time members are able to use a self-service portal for email re-issues. This portal will remain available right until the close of the ballot, though it is not recommend that members wait until the last minute to request a re-issue. The self-service portal is here – labour.org.uk/reissue

Please be aware that most Labour Party staff are now working from home. This means that the inbound phone line is now closed. Support will continue to be provided by email. For general enquiries please email leadership2020@labour.org.uk For any issues relating to membership such as changes of contact details please email labourmembership@labour.org.uk

Dear Member,

I have received an email from the national Labour Party advising that CLPs (Constituency Labour Parties), cancel all meetings and events and suspend campaigning activities. This means that the All Members Meeting planned for 19th March will not be going ahead and there will be no other meetings until further notice.

I have also been informed that, in light of the spread of coronavirus, the Labour Party has taken the decision to cancel the leadership elections Special Conference arranged for 4 April in order to safeguard members and staff and to protect public health. Welsh Labour Conference and Scottish Labour Women’s Conference and the remaining leadership hustings have also been cancelled.

The national Party has also pointed out that ‘the official advice (here) for those feeling unwell has now changed and we must ensure we all respond accordingly to prevent the spread of the virus.

If anyone has symptoms of coronavirus infection, however mild, they must stay at home and not leave their house for 7 days from when symptoms started. This action will help protect others at work and in their community whilst they are infectious.

Stay at least 2 metres (about 3 steps) away from other people at home whenever possible and sleep alone, if that is possible;

Wash hands regularly for 20 seconds, each time using soap and water.

Please do keep up to date on the NHS website.’
