After only three days of postal deliveries the number of members returning envelopes containing ballot papers in the leadership election has reached 3,833, which is already a larger response than for the NEC elections. With voting continuing until September 7, record numbers of votes are expected. This leadership election comes at a vital stage in UKIP's history, and all members are encouraged to record their vote for one of the four candidates.

Geoffrey Kingscott
Acting Returning Officer

Fantastic - a high turnout is always to be welcomed... :P
Seems like Geoff and co. will have a busy time of it

Being a proffesional cynic, now I am suspicous.

I wonder if the first 1000 will all be for the same candidate.

Most people will surely send the thing off within a day or two of it arriving to avoid losing it round the house - so 3000 is not much out of our vast membership.

"I wonder if the first 1000 will all be for the same candidate."

Is that the size of UKIP Wales or the Lechlade Group?

You seem to have a hang up about size.........

very freudian.

I wish it was.

It could be a very good sign, the reformers getting their positive votes in early. I did and I know many who did likewise supporting RS.

I bumped into the treasurer of a local branch tonight - he's voted for "the Welsh guy" .... 8)

I met the Chairman of a local branch last night and he didn't vote for the Welsh one
