Check in when you have voted in the 2024 general election

[moochedit]

Might go to the polling station when it opens at 7, given I’m usually on my way into work at that time and it’s only a minor detour of about 100 metres to get there. Might get to be the first in, just for the novelty.

Yep that's my plan as well.

For how many people is this true ?
Dreadful photo was taken 9 years ago and a colleague signed to say it looked like me lol though I suppose they also checked at my passport interview.

 

[weltweit]

I am going to vote in person at 7am.

That much I have decided, and I have decided who I am not going to vote for. I will make my mind up who I will support in the actual voting booth!

 

[Dogsauce]

First in at 7am. Let’s bury the tories folks.

You sure you didn't vote tory by mistake? It is early after all.

 

[moochedit]

Voted (in person). Labour (zara sultana - coventry south).

 

[moomoo]

Voted. There was no dog at the polling station. Pah.

 

[moochedit]

Voted. There was no dog at the polling station. Pah.

Nor mine

 

[moochedit]

I voted about 7.10am and there were 3 or 4 other people voting which is more than normal for that time.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Do you need to take a dog with you to vote? Like taking the escalator on the tube..?

 

[Dogsauce]

No dogs at mine either, just a young and very posh Labour teller, probably a student they’d roped in to do it. About half a dozen people there at 7am including the mum of someone in my son’s class who I had a chat with. Didn’t have my polling card and it took them ages to find me on the list because it was the first time using it, felt like I was holding everyone up!

Reckon there will be quite a few in there today as this is the liberal elite green-voting heartland and they’re motivated given there’s a good chance Denyer will take the seat.

 

[gentlegreen]

Maybe I should volunteer to take a neighbour's for a walk ...
Taking a bag of poo into the polling station would add a touch of class ...

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Use the turd to make your mark, like a pen on a bingo card

[girasol]

Was at polling station in Tooting at 7:30, and one of the tables (not mine, thankfully) had a 10 person queue. I only had one person in front of me... Swerved the exit pollster (? or poller?) as usual

It's a dead cert for Rosena Allin-Khan in Tooting

 

[Saints Alive]

Voted in hall green & moseley - controversial seat with a nutcase independent who will get a lot of votes.

I think it's the earliest I ever voted.

 

[Miss-Shelf]

I voted by post because I'm away from home. I voted Green. I'm in a safe labour seat. Hope a reduced labour sends a message.

I used to be in the labour party and they have not realised I no longer pay subs. Someone asked me to deliver leaflets in my area
I responded 'Hi X , still have great respect for you as a councillor and all you do but I have lost respect for Labour on so many fronts and stopped paying subs some time ago. Sorry to personally let you down but not sorry about national Labour or local MP - they don't deserve my loyalty in any way. best wishes xxxx

There is a Xitter account called "VotingDogs" if you want to follow that

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Just done the deed, first time since 1997, when it was another Labour landslide over the Tories and same as this year I voted Lib Dem to remove a Tory, in that case removing Toby Jessel, installing Vince Cable. That went well

 

[mx wcfc]

Just back from voting. Quite busy, mainly older people. A short queue built up while they dealt with a proxy vote. Fortunately the presiding officer knew what to do cos the others had no idea.

 

[colacubes]

Voted 8.30. No queue but not surprising as we're in a very safe Labour seat in London. Amused the polling clerks by taking my 6 year old with me and trying to explain voting and democracy to her while we were in there.

 

[eightball]

Voted in person at 7:50. I was about the 15th of the day.

 

[andysays]

Trickle of voters but no queue at my polling station.

A total of ten candidates on the ballot paper, which is the most I can ever remember.

Fortunately my choice was near the top of the list...

 

[Ranbay]

about 8:30 AM

had my ID ready and left some crayons on the side for Reform voters, cos you know they can RUB PENCIL OUT!!!

 

[quimcunx]

They said it had been busy but it was two in two out at 9.30 after the pre work rush.

One of the two coming in as I was going out was Chris Morris of Brass Eye fame. Not sure if he was there to vote or draw a spunking cock.

 

[Saunders]

Voted in person at 9 o’clock, not very busy but they had been earlier. Didn’t take the dog as he’s lame, first time since 2001 I haven’t taken a dog to the polling station

 

[Leafster]

Just come back from voting. It was busier than usual. There were four people in the queue for my group of roads so had to wait a longer to actually get my ballot paper. I was told they had a queue waiting to get in at 7am which isn't normal for here. Apparently they've had far more voters turn up today than is usual for this time of the morning.

If you live in Tooting then you might be right. I saw him once on Balham High Street and then I found out he lives there

Tories desperate to keep their Gammon of choice or disillusioned voters desperate to replace him with a grey middle manager?
