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

[Eeyore]

St Luke's Church in Queen's Park was steady at 09.30. Small queue. Peak time I think is 19.00

 

[timbha]

went in to mine (Silsden, W Yorks) at 12.30'ish, about ~10 people there and two small dogs, had to wait about 3 minutes.

My polling station instructions specifically banned all dogs except assistance dogs. Election void!

Pretty quiet in Gloucester mid-afternoon. Perhaps people who live in Gloucester just aren't very interested in voting for the MP for Tewkesbury .................................

Fewer invigilators than usual, even though they have more to do (i.e. the identity check - although TBF as I had mine ready to hand that took less than ten seconds).

 

[Mackenzie]

I was voter number 30(ish) in Glangrwyney at 9-15 this morning, so quite busy.

 

[atomised]

pretty quiet in hove at 915am this morning

 

[Chicken Run]

Yep, just been. Only me and one other around. No representative from any party to be seen.

I did see a rather officious looking lady with grey hair perhaps in her 60’s sporting a Green Rosette on the corner of Herbert & Balfour making notes on her clipboard…

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Voted early here in rural Lewes and as expected it was quiet, it doesn't mean anything tbh, but in larger towns / cities it would be interesting to know!

We voted at 11.00 in 'rural'ish Faversham. Two in front of us and two behind. If I were asked if it is too early to tell what the turnout is like I'd reply that it's too early to tell.

I'd say it was pretty busy in Findon this morning, less so when I voted mid afternoon.

Interesting to note the much tighter procedure with ID as well. Very clearly adhered to policy.

 

[Chicken Run]

I'll update you soon. I guess as a Labour member I should be volunteering for stuff like this, but honestly f*** that, I've been told plenty times someone with my socialist views ain't wanted - OK I listened and acted accordingly

Fair play to you too, despite my differences with you i’ve always found you to be honest and true to your beliefs, half these Labour newbie’s would wear a dog shit neckless if Sir Kier Spineless told them too!!

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

A queue of around 25 outside one in Holland Road, Hove just before 1pm.

 

[BNthree]

Funnily enough only rosettes I saw this morning where two Greens, the theatre of trees polling station having been divided in two and one at each entrance. I did see Peter Kyle with a few red rosetted supporters just off Hangleton Road this morning. There certainly seems to be far less rosettes and posters generally at this election though

Definitely less posters in windows around my part of Hove for this election.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Heaving...all the reform voters are out in force...

 

[aolstudios]

Quiet. But it was 7.30a.m

 

[AlbionBro]

I'd say it was pretty busy in Findon this morning, less so when I voted mid afternoon.

Interesting to note the much tighter procedure with ID as well. Very clearly adhered to policy.

Do you mean they were checking dental records?

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

Definitely less posters in windows around my part of Hove for this election.

Waste of money and paper. Why give out posters in a seat with a 17k majority, and probably going to get larger?

 

[Deadly Danson]

I did see a rather officious looking lady with grey hair perhaps in her 60’s sporting a Green Rosette on the corner of Herbert & Balfour making notes on her clipboard…

Oh that was just a member of Chelsea's recruitment team looking to sign anyone from Brighton.

 

[London Irish]

This is a common-ish view between my lefty friends, but it's nonsense. Would you prefer the Tories, honestly?

I don't know if you've noticed but they've collapsed, mainly because the "socialist" opposition has stolen all their policies and hence voters. The whole thing's a con, we should have a choice

 

[London Irish]

Same. I support the party financially through my membership subs, but beyond that...

Knoyle Road update - a minute wait, about 2 or 3 in front of you. No Labour presence at all - for a polling station I've taken numbers at (telling) many times in the past. Met someone coming out who said they just resigned from the Labour party four months ago. Greens were there, nice lady with a cute dog. Also not taking any numbers for some reason, assume because they are pretty relaxed about it all

 

[mikeyjh]

Nicely busy - I was down there for about 30 mins because it's a bit of a social event. Only about 250 potential voters to use that polling station so you tend to know many of them!
