Similar to something being lost in the post, if it gets lost, you do it early enough to ensure you have the ability to send it again or use some other method.

Its not like people haven't been warned plenty of times, they should take responsibility for their own tardiness and live with the consequences rather than looking for others to blame.

Agree I don't get the excuse either that they didn't know where they would be living until 10pm last night, signing up to anything on the internet at short notice is fraught with things that can go wrong

if you are catching a flight, and don't leave sufficient time for a traffic jam or whatever and miss the flight, its your own fault, not the fault of the airline .... its the same thing

Now some are calling for the deadline to be extended

Yes but if the actual deadline check in time is say 8pm you have until that time to check in, not 'have' to do so by 6pm.

On line registration wasn't the only option, its their own fault. Always people wan't to blame someone else, no-one takes responsibility for their own actions. If they really wanted to vote, they should have done it weeks prior to the end date. I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.
