Quite a few young 'uns when I got there, also the usual battalions of oldies. May have accidentally put my polling card into the ballot box as well.

I always do this.Spent like a whole minute checking I put a cross next to the correct name
Scary stuff!
I spoke to my sister and that's the first thing she said, doesn't trust them them* apparently.All you first time voters out there - you did bring a pen, right?
Have seen a lot of tweets saying there are long queues at universities.There was a minor queue when I went to vote, about the same as it was at the referendum - obviously it doesn't mean anything, but hopefully the youth vote has remained engaged.

I don't see why not.Are you even allowed to use a pen?
Because they* wouldn't just ignore that one and move onto the next?I spoke to my sister and that's the first thing she said, doesn't trust them them* apparently.

God no.So after criticising Corbyn because of how important it is we have a Labour government JK Rowling endorses Jess Phillips and the Liberal Democrats.
Well done.
If you so wish, sure.Are you even allowed to use a pen?
Sounds like a 60's cover band you get in the local of a sunday night.Jess Phillips and the Liberal Democrats.
On a single anecdotal piece of evidence the left wing hysteria on social media seems to be being replicated in reality. My other half was physically assaulted a few hours ago outside a polling station for asking what turned out to be a Labour supporter what they're polling number was (she works for a Conservative MP so was asked to be a "teller" this AM).Well put. The hysteria on social media in recent weeks has been incredibly off-putting.
She endorsed Jess Phillips almost immediately after retweeting a thread about the abuse Diane Abbott gets. She's simply beyond parody.So after criticising Corbyn because of how important it is we have a Labour government JK Rowling endorses Jess Phillips and the Liberal Democrats.

nothing wrong with using the pencil provided.All you first time voters out there - you did bring a pen, right?
Noob.nothing wrong with using the pencil provided.
I just had to google what a teller is, I've voted my whole life and never once been asked outside the polling centre what my polling number was. I'd definitely have told them to mind their own fecking business. That's one of the shit things about our UK political system, its never really just clearly explained to potential voters how it all works. I'm a full on politics nerd and have been for over 20 years, so if I didn't know about this, then someone voting for the first time isn't likely to either.On a single anecdotal piece of evidence the left wing hysteria on social media seems to be being replicated in reality.

It's pretty standard, nothing partisan and certainly nothing to get violent about.I just had to google what a teller is, I've voted my whole life and never once been asked outside the polling centre what my polling number was. I'd definitely have told them to mind their own fecking business.
No-one should ever get violent of course, but if I've never seen it happen in over 20 years of voting, then its not that standard. Perhaps they only bother in potential swing constituencies?It's pretty standard, nothing partisan and certainly nothing to get violent about.

Are you in St. Helens North or South?Nobody in the voting place when I went to vote at 11ish. Safe seat for Labour in any case.
First time voting so I didn't realise you only vote for your local constituency and it counts towards the total, thought I'd not been given the extra ballot sheet asking which party you want and which leader you want as PM.
Must differ from place to place, I've had it at every (even local) election. All they're doing is tracking turnout.No-one should ever get violent of course, but if I've never seen it happen in over 20 years of voting, then its not that standard. Perhaps they only bother in potential swing constituencies?
That's the perfect time to casually say 'Oh my god, I can't believe that Theresa May wants to ban Custard Creams AND Werthers Originals'. Worth a shot.I voted at 7.30ish. Was about five voters there and I was the youngest by at least three decades.
Yeah, I've never seen it happen either though I've only started voting since 2010 (when I was first eligible to vote).No-one should ever get violent of course, but if I've never seen it happen in over 20 years of voting, then its not that standard.

If you've never seen it before though, and you're already edgy about vote tampering, you can understand why it could freak people out. Not to the point of violence though of course.Must differ from place to place, I've had it at every (even local) election. All they're doing is tracking turnout.
My constituency is one of the ones that have always been Labour. Labour candidate got 57% of the vote in 2015.That's the perfect time to casually say 'Oh my god, I can't believe that Theresa May wants to ban Custard Creams AND Werthers Originals'. Worth a shot.
I vote in Bolsover now which has never been anything other than red! I'll keep trying though!My constituency is one of the ones that have always been Labour. Labour candidate got 57% of the vote in 2015.

Some rumours that the Tories were thinking they had a chance there, but Skinner's personal vote must be pretty hard to beat.I vote in Bolsover now which has never been anything other than red! I'll keep trying though!
