Anyone else voted yet?

[Salazaar]

I sent my postal vote in this morning. Anyone else doing it that way, by proxy or whatever, or are you all heading to a polling station at 7am on May 6th?

[tiggerai]

On the day for me... excuse to get out for a walk.

[jim]

I'll head down, pointless though it is in my constituency. I guess it's somewhat satisfying to actually physically go down and plop the card into the box.

[MD]

postal voted two days ago on account of the fact I wasn't sure if I would be away on business when you had to decide to do it by post months ago...

[Salazaar]

Mine had to be done because I'm poll clerking again that day.

Got a postal vote, but have yet to send it. I'm still undecided who to vote for. I'm completely against Labour, but I can't figure out if it will be better to vote for the Tories or Lib Dems if I want to help get Labour out (it's a semi-marginal seat).

[Grey M@a]

Polling station is literally 10 doors down from the house so I will just pop in and vote. Hard part is who to vote for xD

Oooh, you have my sympathy. Are you counting or just manning a polling station? Don't know what it's like from that side, but having been a campaigner in several elections (and a candidate in one) it looks like a thankless task from the outside...

Polling station is on my way to work so I'll be calling in fairly early on the day, I suspect..

[Saracen]

Polling station for me. First, it's a good excuse for walk. Secondly, when the exit poll counters ask how I voted, I don't want to miss the chance to tell them to mind their own business.

Third .... I haven't decided how to vote yet. I'm putting it off. Fourth, I haven't yet totally decided IF I'm voting, either. I'm putting that off too.

[Flibb]

Not yet, wife has, mainly due to here helping run a polling station on the day

Both as it happens. Poll clerking isn't too bad at all, though it depends on how busy your station is, I suspect I won't see more than a few dozen people all day. I'd rather be a presiding officer, it pays a good deal more, but there were complications this time round.

I'm also counting on the 7th but I'm not doing the overnight shift!

[oolon]

Polling station is 5 minutes walk from my house, so I will vote on the day to make sure my spoilt ballot paper counts!

[scaryjim]

Counting on the 7th? How big is the constituency you work in?! Or do you have a local election at the same time?

In 1997 I watched both the constituency count and the County Council counts. IIRC left the first count at ~ 6am, and I was back for the County count before 10. That was knackering (and I didn't get in, either ;( ).

This

I've never done the count before but I need the cash!

Did my postal vote on Tuesday
