'I just hope it's sorted quickly
A 95-year-old woman who has voted in every general election in her adult lifetime says she fears an administrative issue may prevent her from doing so this year.
"I've had no problems up until now," Jean said. "I worked from the age of 14 and they never had any problems taking tax from me!" She said she initially believed she may have mixed the National Insurance number up with that of her late husband - as her files had two numbers written down. In order to apply for a postal or proxy vote, a voter needs to supply their name, address, date of birth and National Insurance number. These are available to those who are unable to reach a polling station on polling day. The deadline to apply is 5pm on Wednesday June 26, which means Jean has just over two weeks to secure her vote.
"As well as the NI number Jean gave me, which matched the format for her year of birth, there was another on documentation which I imagine was her husband's who died not too long ago. And they said neither match her records."
