Have you voted yet?

Do you mean postal rather than proxy?

No, he meant proxy.

If it was postal, it wouldn't have been his folks going down to vote for him this morning, he would have posted his ballot in.

 

[Cycleops]

No, although I am allowed to pay taxes but not to vote.

Have you not regularised your status in the UK? I suggest that you do and apply for citizenship if you haven't done so, that's if I'm understanding you correctly, excuse me if I'm not. Your pension rights could be affected I think.

 

[vickster]

No, although I am allowed to pay taxes but not to vote.

Out of interest, are you a British citizen or still French and can vote there?

 

[postman]

By post so it might still be in a bag somewhere at the bottom of a big pile of bags.Let us hope whoever wins brings the post back in to Gov ownership.

its the 'got it all sorted nice and easy early last month' rather than 'my folks voted for me this morning' that I'm wondering about.

Whilst on the way to work this morning. Lovely day for it. Polling Station was surprisingly busy for 7.30am

I had settled on Green, but when it came to the crunch I decided to play safe, and opted for magnolia instead.

My postal vote was in a state before I sent it, my new postie is seemingly Mr Magoo and walking straight past the post box at the front of the house and just leaving post on the door step. And of course it rained all day whilst I was out so it was a sudden lump.

All sorted now I hope, saw them and they were really apologetic, maybe post boxes are a bit old fashioned now as they were a young postie and said they didn't even think to look for one after they saw I had no letter box.

 

[slowmotion]

Not yet. I've been overwhelmed by a lack of enthusiasm.

 

[Paulus]

Myself and MrsP have done our civic duty.

 

[roley poley]

voted 20 min ago and had to queue for the first time in my life behind five other people...usually straight in to the booth

 

[gavroche]

Out of interest, are you a British citizen or still French and can vote there?

I am still French and can vote in France but never do as I am well out of French politics.

 

[vickster]

Not sure you can ever vote in two different countries even through you can pay tax in more than one. Depends where you’re a citizen of versus where you work/make use of public services.
Your choice not to vote in France ultimately

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

You mean there's an election? No one told me.

It was mentioned on the telly a few days ago I think

 

[glasgowcyclist]

No, although I am allowed to pay taxes but not to vote.

Are you sure?

I assume you have permission to enter or stay in the UK and are a citizen of an EU country (France), in which case you can register to vote.
