No. Wasn't well and didn't go over the door all day.
That happened to me once before in Australia! I was devastated I missed it, and I got fined (because voting is compulsory there). Makes me wonder whether enough awareness is being raised about elections.

Thank you, but not much, to be honest! I might have to waylay my pride and actually see a doctor :laugh:

Neither did we in London. Congratulations to all the new Green councillors elected.
I didn't even know they were happening :erm:
Wait, I'm confused. What was the 2nd of May election for? I got a ballot card for an election on the 23rd of May
Not registered to vote in my uni city and wasn't about to get a 2 hour train home to do one vote that barely matters.

23rd is EU elections. 2nd is local councils.
No since London didn't have any.

No election in my council
I didnt vote.
Id never heard of the people in my area who were standing in the election anyway.
Didn't vote , didnt know what the vote was even for tbh
I voted and stayed Tory since i like them at a local level.

I will be voting for Farage to illustrate the Brexit betrayal on the 23rd. Already have my polling card and the Friday booked off work.
