On-line Electoral Registration using Firefox

Bear with me; may be important to someone. The electoral register forms came through a few weeks ago and they were encouraging us to confirm our registration on-line. This is the form that lists who lives at your address, who has a postal vote and asks if this information is correct and up to date. I did this on-line and it appeared to register me just fine, but since it hadn't mentioned AJ on any of the screens, I thought I should phone them up and check that my registration covered us both. The lady on the phone said it should have done, yes, but neither of us appear to be registered. She reckons others had had a problem and, like myself, they were using Firefox. Fortunately, in a rare display of organisational skills, I still had the form and the prepaid envelope on-hand so I am sending our registration back in the traditional twentieth-century fashion. So basically; If you have registered on-line and especially if you're not using Internet Explorer, then you may not have been registered at all. I had every indication that my registration had gone through just fine. Give your local council a call and check. If you haven't acted on this at all yet, send the form back in the post. Despite the prospect of things getting lost in the post, this is apparently the safest method of ensuring your right to vote. You don't think this is part of a conspiracy to disenfranchise the sort of independently-minded computer-savvy folks who use Firefox, do you? No, me neither. But it may be worth being aware of.
