David P Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I cast my vote just after 2pm and questioned re. how quiet it was, I was apparently the 4th or 5th person so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Been to a couple of polling stations today, once to vote, and the other while walking my dog, and I'm surprised how quiet they are. And the weather is beautiful up here. One is in an area you'd expect people to generally vote IN, the other OUT. Just voted, I was the only one there Thanks to all the contributors to this thread, it's been a very interesting and useful read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I reckon the polling stations will be heaving tonight. Everyone will descend on them after work. Don't leave it until the last minute, folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Give it an hour and it'll get busy. Most folk will be working and just assigned voting to a 'on the way home from work' task. I'll be off to vote soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt they will get busier, but the polling stations I mentioned before normally have a steady stream of people going through them during elections etc. Maybe just a localised phenomenon, but it will be interesting to see what the turnout is like.

Chris Wilson Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I cast my vote just after 2pm and questioned re. how quiet it was, I was apparently the 4th or 5th person so far! Yeah, but I told you, the polling station is *NOT* the Pig and Porcupine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoaster Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I know that back at home, most working folks and those too frail to get out, arrange a postal vote...... I took my daughter to vote for the first time back in May for the Scottish Parliament elections at around 6pm expecting the place to be heaving and it was quiet - I guess that voting in person is a dying trend.

SteveC Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Just voted OUT.... Nice pencils they have you mark your ballot paper with.... Me and the Mrs took no chances, we took our own permanent black marker pens. Out votes for us too. I'm quite optimistic - assuming the vote counting is fair.

Suprakeith Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I will be voting out very soon, I do so hope the out vote wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Although I expect a marginal remain victory, the EU hasn't won anything here. A marginal victory sends a very clear message along the lines of 'the EU is important, but it isn't working'. Of they now refuse serious reforms, the question of another referendum will crop up in 2020. And in addition to my earlier comment about the disconnect between the MPS and the electorate, the whole pen conspiracy thing that has been so prevalent today, must be a clear indicator that there is not trust in politicians any more.

Suprakeith Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I agree that remain will marginal win and the pens are a clear show of no trust, part of me believes that even if out wins they will loose papers so remain wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 As I've mentioned previously, it seems odd to me that the official polls always had it as a close race, yet most polls on forums and websites have had leave as well ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The pen/pencil conspiracy theories are keeping me amused You really think they're going to spend the time and effort to rub out a million Xs and mark in new ones by hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they'll just bin the leave votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I am wondering what all the Glastonbury attendees have done about voting. Most people already seem to be there judging by yesterday's news. Some 200,000 expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't put it past them, although yes it is unlikely they would put the effort into rubbing out marks. The likely hood is that they would just commit voting fraud by removing leave votes or counting them as invalid. Voted leave earlier along with several other people. Everyone I've seen its been a leave vote.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
