Zack Polanski, a Green Party politician, says he did not vote in last week’s local elections. Multiple outlets report that Polanski attributes the missed vote to problems with voter registration connected to changes in where he lived. The Independent reports that an administrative technicality related to moving house meant he “fell short of time to register.” The Evening Standard and Sky News say he was unable to vote because he was not registered, and that additional steps were required to register to vote anonymously. The Evening Standard adds further detail, stating that Polanski was moving and that the move fell through, after which he moved in as a lodger in rented accommodation. A Green Party spokesperson is quoted as explaining that these circumstances affected his ability to complete the registration process in time. The reports are consistent that Polanski does not dispute the outcome, and instead describes it as resulting from the timing and administrative requirements of voter registration during a period of residence change.
