People like you, don't know enough about party matters to make much contribution to these debates.

Letter to all voters explaining the delay: 15,000 members x 30p = £ 4500
Printing of new voting papers = c£ 500
Mailing of new voting papers: 15,000 members x 30p = £ 4500
And yes, you'd need new voting papers, or you wouldn't know who voted before finding out this earth-shattering information, which would mean you'd have an unquantifiable amount of votes which the delay failed to solve.
So, for a mere ten grand (wouldn't cost the party more money) you can correct a minor breach of procedure. You may think its worth it, but most will take the view that the cost far far outweighs any benefit, and that's assuming there is any benefit whatsoever. I'd rather see the money spent on the campaign, as, I suspect, would Tim, even though people like him don't know enough about party matters to maintain an air of studied though ill-informed pomposity.
