Stuart Carroll will not be able to strike a ballot paper this week as his postal voting pack failed to arrive before he went on holiday abroad on Tuesday (July 2).
The University of York professor said he applied to vote by post on Thursday, June 13, and received confirmation of this from City of York Council.
Prof Carroll explained that his holiday to Greece had been booked far in advance so he knew to apply for a postal vote to avoid missing out.
But two and a half weeks on he told The Press that his ballot paper failed to arrive.
