Voted at 7 this morning , just gave my name and address and I got three voting slips. General election , local council , and the parish election. We pay a bit extra council tax for the parish council who seem to do a good job improving our facilities. Now we have to look forward to several weeks of the national lot forming a working coalition.

 

Lol i know @ARMANDII but i didnt think through how much effort it would be and i would be able to garentee i would be able to walk on election day so it would be risky

I will continue to be lazier and stick with postal in hope online becomes available so that i dont even have to leave the house to pop it in a post box

 

This became a big problem in Northern Ireland/Ulster during 'the troubles'. It's known as personation when somebody attempts to/uses somebody else's vote and is obviously more successful when the fraudsters target regular non-voters or recently deceased voters on the electoral role.

If a second person attempts to vote using the same name/polling number as somebody who's already voted then subsequent vote(s) are marked on special 'tendered' ballot papers (used to be pink and in a separate book) provided by the Presiding Officer, put in a special envelope, entered in the ballot paper reconciliation and are a dreaded event for anybody working in a polling station.

 

Are you sure that they weren't the party reps canvassing for your vote?

So was mine (councillor, not MP). We had words, then there was a scene. Ohhhh dear! I have told him in the past that he is not to ever try to talk to me, especially not good after it took me twenty minutes to park.

 

Lets face it, it is all about parties in a general election.
Your local MP tends to follow party lines, rather than bother if some scruffy individual voted for them.
If they dont, they might get De-selected, is that a real word?

 

Mine doesn't - he's the one who sets the party lines

 

Who is that then?

 

We have a history. People used to be polite to him in our local but I wasn't - I asked him to go sit elsewhere as his BO is really bad.

 

Camoclown! Call me Dave. The Bullingdon Bully. Got it yet?
