Can't be bothered voting.

But will turn up tonight at 9:00 for 4 hours for "overnight verification" as it's called. Hopefully, away for 12:30-01:00 & a ton in the sky rocket from EONI in 6 weeks time.

You don't need your polling card to vote but it's handy for the information to get you there if you don't know where you should be going.

Or has her scare tactic got the Unionist vote out ?

38% in Sandy Row @ 5pm so I would say the unionist vote is out

Went 1. SF 2. SF 3. GP 4. WP 5. SDLP 6. AP

Unionist parties in Upper Bann have a long proven track record of bigotry so it will be a while before they find themselves getting a preference on my ballot paper.

They do, but it may be that one is more bigoted than the other. Or you could just vote for non incumbent candidates to move things around.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Indeed.. A good few round our way, inc ourselves didn't get cards. In and tell them where you live and they'll point you to the right room... Vote early and often!

Finally decided to vote and went for SDLP, Alliance & UUP.
Almost felt like a traitor or I should be hiding but the crowd currently/previously on the hill had no interest in helping Joe Piblic so would give the other crowds a turn (I realise it is highly unlikely and it will be the same old shite)

Yeah SF talking as if we will get something different if they are returned biggest party. Would love to know what will be different, as they will still be joined at the hip with DUP

Looks like turnover is up all over which is great!!

You would like to think TUV and Mike TV have made some inroads into the DUP a dilution of the Unionist vote would be great. Fingers crossed but I'm hoping an increased Unionist vote means more votes against the DUP!!
