I haven't been to vote yet, am going after work but everyone I have spoken to who has voted so far said the polling stations seem a lot busier than usual. Anyone who has voted, was this the case where you are too?

I'm off on my way to work, will set off in a min in case it's busy. What a lovely sight though queueing on a cold December day to make a difference.

I went this morning and there was about ten people there which was definitely more than last time. I don't think our area has a high turnout for votes though which is why Tories have a stronghold here despite working against the interests of the people.

There were a few people there which was a shock as whenever I vote normally I’ve always been the only person in there when I go

just voted and yes it was busy, cars whizzing in and out and a steady stream at the booths

i told the women about Cherie spoiling her vote and they said they already knew and are waiting for her in England where Cherie votes, despite being an irishman - the woman was furious and called her a "hooligan republican"

I can see my Polling Station from my house (up the street) and it's been absolutely heaving since early this morning, we had to queue to get in for a few mins earlier. It's rammed again now with all the parents picking kids up from school voting on the way home - queues around the building. Probably be the same again after 5/6ish when most finish work.

Usually you wouldn't even know there's a vote on here because it's so quiet, like one or two people every 10 mins if that.

Yeah my polling station was dead but I went at lunchtime, it usually picks up after 5 in my area when all the Toms and Yvonnes come home from work

Someone left a suspicious device at a polling station in one of the towns nearby, they had to evacuate and carry out a controlled explosion :/

They caught the person responsible
