Wee-Bey Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I put an x in the box of the independent and also drew a cock and balls. I'm now officially allowed to complain about things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I went to put my ballot in the box and one of the polling staff intervened, opened my ballot, and forced me to vote for WOKE instead. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 1 hour ago, itzdrk said: I'm not sure if I actually voted or spoiled my ballot. I put an X in the SNP box and called everyone except the TUSC and Green candidate a c**t (but outside the wee box). If it's spoiled then it's worth it. This has been pretty definitively settled - if you make a Clear preference for a single candidate it's counted as a vote, as per some case in the Hebrides where some voter wrote 'w**k' beside every candidate except the SNP candidate, who got a 'good guy' instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they weren't allowed to be within a certain distance or have any material promoting. I could Google but I'm not that bothered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect even if he wins he might stand in 2026 and relinquish his Westminster seat if elected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Just back. One of us voted SNP and I'm told the other 3 (one of whom qualifies to vote by 5 just days) did too. Bet the Tory gets in here though. Christ, it's depressing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Honestly, the worst thing about casting your vote is that hour or so of doubt afterwards where you convince yourself that you didn't actually vote for the candidate/party you intended to. I checked my ballot three times before folding it and taking it to the box, and once after folding it, but there is still part of me convinced that I voted Reform by accident. I'd imagine that normal, well-adjusted human beings do not experience this, but hopefully some on here can relate. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a clear mark for a candidate then I'd assume the cross is the one that will have priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine that normal, well-adjusted human beings do not experience this, but hopefully some on here can relate. I do this too. The worst ever was the independence referendum, where I convinced myself I’d voted the wrong way for days despite checking it about 15 times before I put it in the box. Anyway, voted SNP in Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch. Looks like it’ll be neck and neck with Labour but hopefully the SNP guy holds on, seems a decent bloke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the misfortune of living in a constituency that includes places like Stranraer, Kircudbright, Wigtown and numerous other Tory hovels so in the past I’ve voted SNP as they’re usually the closest challenger to the tories. It’s never worked before but I’m hopeful this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FK1Bairn Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Just wrote 'no' beside each candidate on my postal vote and sent it away. Spoiled ballots used to really annoy me but I now get why people do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
