As its an England & Wales only vote I'm not up to speed on it but I don't think it was as easy as every Fed member getting a voting card sent out. They had to register first and go through various hoops.
That said with such a vicious attack on the Police by the current government I'm surprised by the low turnout. I see the same MPs that ignored the pitiful PCC election turnout are now claiming the 'vast majority' of Police don't want the right to strike.
