A small queue at 7.15. I normally walk straight in at that time. Both of us have voted - MM by post and me in person.

I'm probably not allowed to say how busy we've been.

I can say that what is a nicely situated polling station in a village hall looking out over a cricket pitch is not quite so attractive in the pouring rain and cold of December as it would be in the summer. Although we have to keep the door open we do have some heating unlike colleagues who are freezing in portacabins!

Voted on my way back from work at 10am. Stood outside the Polling Sation for a while there. A steady stream of voters, mostly elderly at this point.

It's a bit nippy in Scotland, so gonnae get well wrapped for going down to take another turn at 2pm. It's good to have a presence outside, so we take turns(SNP).

Will be voting later after the OH gets home from work. Callum was most disappointed that there's an election this year and not late next year, at 17 and a bit he's not quite over the voting line yet.

Voted on the way to work, and took in a postal vote from a neighbour. Then went and did 2 proxy votes in Aberdeen. A couple of young people outside giving away mince pies, which I thought was lovely given it's so cold.

Bus was late so I voted before work, then popped in to say 'Hi' to a few friends in the office next door.

I voted this morning and I'm going out now to see if I can help get the vote out by offering a lift to the polling station to those that need one.

My constituency was represented by the former Scottish Secretary. His would be a great scalp to take.

I'll be at the count tonight for the first time so looking forward to that.

I went & voted at 1 o’clock. Crikey, the weather down here in sunny Sussex is absolutely dreadful. Strong winds & pouring rain.

As we don’t have a car, I got a good soaking scuttling down to the polling station & back.

Voted this morning and chatted to a lady on the way out who helps with the postal vote - says it’s the largest number of postal votes they’ve received in the four years she’s been doing this. She said she reckons she’s got a late finish counting tonight and possibly a few recounts.

Steady stream of folk in to our polling station, and a walk took us past another earlier where there was still folk popping in despite the awful weather.

Name-calling will be called out, and Ad hominem will be frowned upon. :-) And whatabout-ery sits somewhere above responding to tone and below contradiction.
