Thousands of postal votes have not been delivered in a string of marginal seats, raising fears that the chaos could lead to results being challenged and delayed. John Swinney has voiced concern over postal vote delays in Scotland. Emergency voting centres have been opened to tackle the postal delays, with Edinburgh Council confirming its facility will be open on Friday and over the weekend. The Liberal Democrats leader expressed significant worry about the postal ballot delays ahead of the upcoming General Election. The issue is being seen across Great Britain and could be more problematic than voter ID issues at #GE2024.
