This section explains entitlement to, and the deadlines for, applying to sign a petition by post or proxy. Although the granting of absent signing arrangements is the responsibility of the ERO(s), you will need to liaise with them to obtain the relevant data, and you will need to be able to communicate the deadlines to the public.
This section also covers the arrangements you will need to put in place for the issuing and opening of postal signing packs.
You will need employ and train assistants, and provide written instructions on the procedures to follow for the issuing and opening of postal signing packs.
