Printing error blamed for missing names on ballot papers

A printing error in Hull is prompting concerns that some voters could potentially miss out on their chance to select their preferred candidate for next week's General Election. People in the Hull East constituency who registered for a postal vote after the first of April have received a form that doesn't include two of the candidates. This has been put down to a mistake from the printing supplier and new forms will be sent out as Michael Billington reports.

This is the full list of candidates in Hull East:

  • Richard Barrett (UKIP)
  • Martin Clayton (Yorkshire First)
  • Mike Cooper (National Front)
  • Val Hoodless (Social Democratic Party)
  • Christine Mackay (Conservative)
  • David Nolan (Liberal Democrats)
  • Karl Turner (Labour)
  • Sarah Walpole ( Green)
