It's general election day for the Playmobil people in our house.

[SoMuchToBits]

Here are this year's candidates. From left to right:- Michael the beach policeman (Law and order party), Emilia (Fashion accessories party), Jack Jellyhead (Legalise robbery party) Norman the foreman (Tea drinking and lifesaving party), Deepika (Keep fit party) and Seiji (DIY party).

Will Norman the foreman and the Tea drinking and lifesaving party remain in power? We will have to find out! The population of Playmoland will soon be arriving to cast their votes.

The polling station will open at 7 am.

Eastgate primary school sports hall has been turned into a polling station for the day. Outside Dinesh is waiting ready to conduct the exit poll.

Excellent. I love a playmobil thread!

Inside Moloud and Rupert are waiting for the voters to arrive.

Yay! You're back @SoMuchToBits! Very excited to see how the day pans out.

The polling station is now open. Come and cast your votes here. And as ever, feel free to comment. Polling ends at 10 pm.

Will there be Portillo Moments?

@Westfacing I've no idea! Anything could happen...

Im really tempted by the fashion and accessories party ....but not sure of their main manifesto pledges ?

Beryl and Betty are early birds and are already here to vote.

They show their polling cards to Moloud and Rupert, who cross them off the electoral roll...

Hope they've brought photo ID!

... then go to the polling booths with the stubby pencils.

Brilliant!

What’s happened to Kylie the lifeguard though?!

Playmoland haven't brought in photo ID, so they don't need it!

Beryl and Betty cast their votes.

@ChessieFL after the tea drinking and lifesaving parties amalgamated (at some point between 2016 and 2019) Norman remained prime minister and Kylie is deputy prime minister. I'm sure that should their party be re-elected she will form part of the government!

Beryl and Betty post their votes in the ballot box.

I was hoping there would be an election for the Playmobil people 😃

Congratulations Playmoland!

I'll be voting for the Keep Fit party as a more active population saves public money in so many areas. Go Deepika!

After voting, Dinesh asks Beryl and Betty which way they voted.

Thank you @SoMuchToBits I love your threads.
My vote will go to Norman but good luck to all the candidates!

I'm backing Norman - he seems like an honest sort of chap 😁

I'll be updating this thread at various intervals throughout the day. I hope there's a good turnout!

I'm voting for Seiji. I'm hoping that one of his pledges is to add DIY to the national curriculum.

Will there be playmobil dogs at polling stations??!

I'm undecided between Norman and Seiji. Decisions decisions 🤔

Any first time voters arrived?

Excellent. vote Tea!
