This will be my first although I voted in a by election, honestly I couldn’t be less excited if I tried. I will always vote however who I’m going to vote for is another matter. No one will follow through on promises regardless so it all just seems futile, although the tories need a wakeup call to end their complacency in believing they can do what they want and still maintain power

It's my fourth 
general election to vote in – but it gives me very fond memories of 2015, which was the last time we waited 5 years for an election. As I got interested in politics I was so excited for it and to vote

I turn 18 in September, so I was kind of hoping that they would hold it off until then so that I would vote haha! Having said that I was not prepared in the slightest and would have no clue who to vote for, so maybe it's a good idea that I'm not voting

I am voting in my first general election this year! I voted in my first election at the start of this month for Lincolnshire's PCC which is very boring in comparison to this one.

Me when the election is three days before my birthday so I can't vote: 🫠
No but it is interesting because from a northern irish perspective sinn fein may as well get the gains that they got in the local election 2 years ago too, which would mean that they would be the second part of the UK with a Nationalist party majority (and only if opinion of the SNP gets any lower lmao)
But I'll be watching with popcorn as the results come out for England because believe you me: tory hate is universal

I'm old enough to vote in the Senedd elections here in Wales but not for the general elections for a while yet.... I haven't really made my mind up but the general feeling is not conservative and who ever I feel is more likely to win of the more lift wing groups

Yepp voting in my first general election this year i did the one earlier this month for mayor of London and the other two also (cannot remember the other things you voted for haha). Honestly i found it quite hard last time cause of options, and i'm sure this one will be similar but it is what it is i guess, we're here voting for a reason still and that's what counts . personally i'm not big into politics, neither do i really see a point in it sometimes but it is interesting following voting and nice seeing people all coming together as well informing ppl about voting . Also i kinda wish i voted at polling stations cause it seems more of an experience, but i did postal last time so we'll see if i'll change haha
