FWR : What Are Your Plans for Election Day (if any)?

Note : this thread is not for telling other people how to vote. Plenty other threads for this. This thread is to tell us what your plans are for 4 July.

Do you have plans already? Would you be staying up late? Any memorable election days from the past?

I'll vote before I go to work and keep my fingers crossed. Regular day otherwise.

Ds2 is applying to be a counter i think

thanks for the sympathy bez people who don’t do stuff right on the friday are already in danger but me being tired would make it so much worse 😀

I will be working as a poll clerk in my local polling station! I can’t wait, it’s going to be fun.

I had no idea people made plans for election days! It’s a totally normal day except I need to find 5 mins to nip out and vote. 🤷‍♀️

I'll probably be flicking through some holiday brochures.

Lol I would too if I could, Rishi. 😄

ooft, bladdy Sunak! I feel your pain @RufustheFactualReindeer - that's a massive pain in the arse.

It is very odd timing for a GE... 2019 was December and 1992 was April - other than that the recent ones have all been 1st or second Thursday in May or June. I rather suspect he was told to "just get it over with" by the suits.

Im a bit put out actually

i am working an hour away all day so wont be able to vote til late but thats not the issue

the original plan would be to vote with dd and ds2 as its their first times and then stay up very late potentially all night with ds2, chocolate etc

but bloody sunak has called it two days before ds1 gets married and on friday we get the venue from 12 to decorate and get all the food and chairs and table clothes and stuff 😭

so no staying up too late or i will want to kill anyone who doesn’t put the tealight holder on the table in the right way

I'll start
I cannot wait for election day!
I've got it all laid out. Dawn swim, see nipper off to school, day of working from home office, cook dinner for my family, off to the gym for back-to-back classes, quick post-gym dip to cool off.
Then up the community centre for my dinner, a refreshing beverage, and my VOTE.
Then I'm going home to stay up late watching the results rolling in.
It's going to be GRATE. Up the democracy!
