6.5 hours into a sixteen hour stint...

[Drago]

Yeah, an hour this morning.

Shift at an end, unless you're doing the count?

Bit of a row at my polling station tonight with one guy unable to vote as they have obviously scored off his name in error when someone else voted earlier. He wasn't happy.

Personation?

They'd to close a polling station early one year, an elderly relative wheeled in in her wheelchair to vote. Two people moving her arm over the ballot paper. Presiding Officer intervened, and found that the elderly relative was no longer on this earth.

Wow, not great is it.

It looked more like an error than anything sinister in my example, but you never know.

Worst I've come across.

If someone else went in, without the voting papers, and gave another persons name and address, they've to accept that they're the person they say they are. Second person, giving the same details, raises the question of trying to vote twice.

That was the suggestion from the council guy. He was reading from a script and quizzing him on his identity and if he'd voted here or anywhere else today. Quite embarrassing in a small village.

There's two letters before the number, they show at which station they should vote. Visiting Officer is the first point of contact, but there should be no direct communication between polling station staff at seperate stations.

Personation claims in Scotland being announced.

You'd have thought @DCBassman would have let us know he'd finished his shift!!

 

[DCBassman]

Apologies, it all ended swiftly! Home by 10.20, only live around the corner.

Hope you'd a last minute rush.

Lorry Driver - quite right
Junior Doctor - they were picking on you

Lorry drivers are still allowed a 15 hour shift

Used to do both polling station and count many years ago then back in the office for 9am.

 

[DCBassman]

Right up to 21.55, kept coming, although not many. Biggest numbers in anyone's memory for that station.
