Mourne Red

Just voted there was only 150 ballots done so far they had up on the wall.. Had a few party's knocking on the door asking if I'd voted yet. Turnout might be pretty low

Was speaking to someone this morning who didn't even know it was today!

Champion The Wonder Horse

Very quiet polling station. Only one party with a presence outside and only one with tellers (I think that's what they call them) inside. Same party btw.

I see the Unionists around Coleraine (East Derry) panicking over turnout  :o

Shinners have knocked my door 3 times today and asked if I've voted and if I voted for their candidate.. Pretty sure that's a no no

Your vote was hard won. You'd want to be taking a look at yourself if you aren't voting at all.

Not sure it makes any difference in Westminster to local issues because not one **** do they give about this place... so I'm out. Council elections are more self governing and can make a difference locally.

You've misunderstood him.
He has voted.
He doesn't believe SF should be asking people such questions.

Read it as they asked did you vote and he's said no.

Don't think theres any harm in parties trying to get people out and vote but obviously it's none of their business who you vote for.

It's not. Nothing wrong with canvassing on election day. Plus they have him down as a strong supporter from previous canvass if they are checking in with him on election day.

Alliance v DUP is the story here, across several constituencies.
Everything else to be as you were....

Shouldn't be asking who I voted for imo - Maybe that's just me but I wouldn't ask anyone who they voted for.

I will always vote as it wasn't long ago we didn't even have that right and the younger generation needs to be reminded of that.
100%

How long ago was it that you weren't allowed to vote?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.
