Re: Voting

In person always, as long as I'm able, it just makes it feel more official.

Walk to the polling station, make my cross, shove it in the box, walk back.

Re: Voting

If you don't vote then in my opinion you have no right to criticise whoever is in power at the time. We vote, not always for the same thing Brexit being one of them, but at least we vote every time. it does means a car journey.

Re: Voting

I rather like the voting process. In the school hall, the voting booths, earnest looking people taking my card, funny little pencils on a string, bumping into locals you haven't seen for a while. I think I'd miss it if I got a postal vote.

Re: Voting

I have a postal vote. I find it an effortless and convenient way to vote.
The nearest polling station to me, is not nearby.

I do sometimes wonder, if it is included in the count but l shouldn’t be so suspicious!,

I do not trust the postal votes - always go to the booth in person.

We have a postal vote, so much easier than queuing up to tick a voting slip.
