What people are saying
I received 250 notices on August 7, while others got theirs two or three days later. Some had 600, 700, 800 or even 900 notices
If it took me so long to complete 250, those with 800-900 notices will naturally take much longer
For the remaining six voters, I have informed the officer concerned that they are not taking my calls
