Stormont Assembly Elections 2017

[randomusername]

Turn-out seems to be up across the board. 80% in places like Draperstown and Roslea.

[ziggysego]

In our house we all went with the opposition:  1.SDLP   2.UUP   3.Green   4. Alliance in West Tyrone

None of the independents?

[FermGael]

Looks like a massive increase in turnout.
Arlene has done a great job at increasing voter turnout.

[Taylor]

Amazingly Arlene has increased turnout across NI.

It remains to be seen is this an increase of knuckledragger loyalists or of people wanting a change for the better

Let us hope they put her last on the ballot in FST.

West Tyrone out in force around Trillick anyway

[Dougal Maguire]

SF 1,2 & 3 in Newry & Armagh. Apparently a very high turnout in our Polling Station.

Was a bit skeptical but apparently they got it basically spot on in last year's election so who knows. He could be talking out of his arse though, not sure what his data is and never heard of him.

That is the highest estimate I have seen for DUP yet. Most estimates have been round 30-32.

[OgraAnDun]

Very disappointing if it turns out to be accurate.

[Saffrongael]

DUP could be in trouble in N Belfast, looks like their normal staunch working class areas have not come out

[Milltown Row2]

If the DUP get the same vote then N.I deserves to be the biggest laughing stock of Europe.... Who da feck votes for Arlene based on what her track record has been lately?

Well if they weren't put off by Red Sky and Nama and a myriad other scandals...but we shall see.

Exactly right, this has the potential to be the most depressing election ever. We are well and truly fucked if the DUP remain the same/improve their vote. Will show without question the type of Neanderthals we are dealing with. Do these people have no standards, respect for themselves?
Please let us have a result that goes beyond green/orange, it's 2017 ffs!

There will never be large scale voting here on anything other than green/orange. Suits DUP/SF too much, too much to lose
