[Politics] How busy are the Polling Stations where you live?

There was nobody at our polling station before or after my wife and I voted. Having said that I’ve never seen anyone else there at previous elections either!
The list of voters was only on two pages as far as I could see so not exactly surprising.

Are you confident?
I voted for Siân Berry, but chatting with the many Green canvassers that did our road including today, they were all notably worried. Today’s Green Party canvasser was a lady with blur hair!
Betfair have it as a clear win for SB.
I hate all that, regardless of which party is doing it. If someone turned up at my house asking if I’d voted for their party because I’d previously said I would, I’d happily tell them to f*** off tbf.

I'll be so disappointed if all those ITK knew at 2.00 and it's just us plebs that have to wait another 8 hours

This was back in the 1980s, where generally we’d get an offer of a cup of tea and a biscuit from most places. But these were households already down as on the same side as my rosette, so not unfriendly.

Looks like they draw a line well before 10pm then, being as that tweet with John Curtice mentions keeping things top-secret and under wraps till the polling stations close, with phones handed in before a vote is cast. I just doubt its as early as 12pm-1pm.Had a look to try and find out, but couldn't find out for sure, have a look here at this article (section 2.5)and link though as it explains the process, some talk of times (4pm) but can't glance if that's a cut off

Absolute farce here in Eastbourne, 45 minute wait to vote, one person with an Ipad registering voters. Saw at least 5 people turn and walk away rather than vote, who knows if they'll return.
Staffed by around 6, with one person doing anything and 5 walking around looking gormless and apologising for the wait.

My old grandad would have been called up by now by the local Tories for his once every 4 years free car to the polling station in a key marginal to do his duty (which was to vote LABOUR from 1945 until his death in 1992, but Dave, don’t tell the old dear OK? She hates me for being a Tory). Hats off to grandad Jim!

We went at 6.30 here in Kings Norton and although we walked straight in, 5 mins later there was a queue of about 20 outside.
Big queue at Arundel, really jovial, but busy
