They did the exact same thing in Wales too. After that mistake you would think they would print their leaflets more Caerphilly.

@seb321 The Electoral Commission should treat this as the attack on democracy and abuse of the electorate it is, and strike Refom Ltd from the ballot.

And I'd say the same for any constituency or party: long past time to clean up politics!
