AIBU to ask you to please ONLY fold your voting paper in half!

[BurnTheBlackSuit]

I am counting tonight, and whilst I get paid more the long the count goes on, it is so annoying when people have folded their votes into 4 or 8 or made a swan out of it before posting it in the ballot box.

Please please, just a simple fold in half - one crease- there is absolutely no need to do any more folds than this!!!

[Tworingsandamicrowave]

A swan?

[Homemama]

Who the heck has time or inclination for elaborate folding?
Yanbu. Not in the slightest.

[Scarydinosaurs]

Do I have to fold at all???

[londonrach]

The possibilities ive never thought of!! Quick question...any idea what happens re result tonight...is it a stay up all night or started counting tomorrow morning?

[BeyondTellingEveryoneRealFacts]

I have dexterity issues, i fold twice so i can actually post it. The slot needs to be made bigger really

[Lweji]

Maybe even not fold at all?

[BeyondTellingEveryoneRealFacts]

Stay up all night rach

[Helmetbymidnight]

I fold twice - apologies

[gruffaloshmuffalo]

I was told to fold it into quarters, it wouldn't fit in the box otherwise

[Pyjamaface]

I've just done 2 folds pain in the arse me

[MurphysChild]

You will be pleased to know I folded mine in half this morning. Unfortunately the chap in front folded his several times and had to push it through the slot.

[AnthonyPandy]

Is anyone else googling origami sites now?

[Juliarobertshair]

Folded mine twice, sorry!

[BurnTheBlackSuit]

You don't have to fold at all, no!

[londonrach]

Thanks beyond....not sure i can manage an all nighter but with mn help i might.

[HelloSunshine11]

The lady who gave me the ballot paper pre-folded it in half for me - she's obviously going to be involved in the count too!

[londonrach]

Anthony...maybe...😊

Anthony I do have a strange compulsion to learn how to make an origami Swan...

We start counting at the stroke of 10 as soon as the polls close.

With the general election, we started counting once all the ballot boxes had been delivered (so about 11.30pm!). But the government has said for the referedum we have to start at 10- so will be verifying the postal votes first and the ballot boxes as they come in. Then once all are in and verified, we will sort and count.

[RoganJosh]

Ours you have to fold it or it doesn't fit through the slot.

[tibbawyrots]

I've been practising making an origami bald eagle for weeks now 😫

[Borka]

I've just voted & was specifically told to fold twice so it would fit through the slot.

[ShowOfHands]

I'm making an origami turtle.

[IpanemaChica]

One fold here, fitted in box just fine!

[HarveySchlumpfenburger]

I hadn't thought about making a swan out of it. Excellent idea OP.
