Postal vote for us.
Don't forget to take your ID!

I've not put this in the bear pit, as I'm not looking for trouble. Just a little reminder...
Postal vote for us.
Had me worried for a minute - I just checked are there aren't any this year where I live.
I have a postal vote but haven't posted it.
I shall go in a few minutes. Ten minute walk.
Already done at 7.15.
Was the ID requirement a hassle for people? I'm mystified by the fuss as we've had it in NI for years.

Are there any special places that are normally closed but now open because there's a polling station for one day?
Castles, parts of museums, privately owned islands ('vote and get a guided tour as well!); all spots where we can vote when we want to. It has raised the vote turnout here.
Well, to keep things simple, the only valid paperworks that come with a photo are your passport, a reasonably recent driving licence and a senior bus pass. Which mean that the elderly will have no issue, most people on this forum will have no issue but students will struggle and students from poor families will struggle more.
[sarcasm]I am of course convinced that it's a coincidence if they are the ones most likely to vote Labour. Whereas voters fraud was an urgent issue that needed tackling asap.[/sarcasm]

I hope there are representatives keeping a tally of the numbers of people refused the vote today.

Walked into polling station, showed my driving licence, voted, walked out.
No problem at all.
They will. I have worked at plenty of Polling stations and at the count. They will know the numbers on each area’s electoral role, now how many people voted and for whom, plus they will tally up any spoilt ballot papers; some of those provided a welcome chuckle when counting votes. Turn-out seems to be getting lower and lower with each new election, I suspect this will be more of the same.
People who want to vote in an election need experience no issue. You need a national insurance number (every adult has one) and a recent digital photo (I doubt that students from poor families will have any difficulty with that one). It's free as you'd expect, so poverty isn't an issue.
