Sir In the recent council election we, the people residing within ward 2 – Tarbert, North Kintyre, Island and Jura – were given a ballot with six named candidates and six blank squares.
I, for my part, cast the weight of my vote in favour of my number one councillor with my second preference and I left four squares blank, so no problem here.
However, I believe it was totally wrong for the Returning Officer to deny the electors in Campbeltown and South Kintyre their right to participate in the local election.
