If so are you a reg voter or has the referendum prompted you to register to vote?

Yes, always vote

CaffeineDeficitDisorder · 24/05/2016 23:34

Yes, always vote

StickTheDMWhereTheSunDontShine · 24/05/2016 23:35

Yes. Always vote. Even voted in the police commissioner elections, despite the lack of literature we received and my lack of conviction about the validity of the role.

Tangfastics · 24/05/2016 23:36

Yes. Only time I haven't voted was for the police commissioner earlier (last?) Month as we received zero literature and I literally had no bloody idea who any of them were.

No, foregone conclusion.
Rarely vote.

mummyto2monkeys · 24/05/2016 23:40

Absolutely, my polling card arrived today. I vote at every election/ referendum.

HoneyDragon · 24/05/2016 23:40

Yes, I always vote. Sorting out my postal vote for this one as I'm visiting family in Ireland that week.

Fanjango · 24/05/2016 23:55

I always vote yet this will be the first vote where I actually have a say. Safe seat leaves me disenfranchised, but I still vote. We fought for it, we should see it as a duty. If you don't, you can't complain if you don't like the result!

The80sweregreat · 25/05/2016 06:35

yes, polling cards are here.

AugustaFinkNottle · 25/05/2016 06:43

I always vote

Eastpoint · 25/05/2016 06:45

Yes. Always vote. I treat my right to vote very seriously.

ProfessorPreciseaBug · 25/05/2016 06:51

Yes a regular voter ..Good people died in a war to ensure the priveledge to vote. It is dispariging their sacrifice to not vote. ... (and yes ...when I was canvassing for someone I always said I would rather they voted against my chappie than didn't bother to vote).

Mind you with over half our laws now made by an unelected government, there is little point in continuing to vote if we stay in Europe.

londonrach · 25/05/2016 06:51

Yes, always vote apart from the last one, the police one.

idontgiveafuck · 25/05/2016 06:54

Yes & regular voter.

SocialDisaster · 25/05/2016 06:57

Yes regular voter.

Geekmama · 25/05/2016 07:00

Yes!! regular voter here.

Natsku · 25/05/2016 07:16

It prompted me to register as an overseas voter - been an expat for 8 years and never bothered getting my postal vote before but the referendum has definitely made me want to sort it.

PunkrockerGirl · 25/05/2016 07:18

Yes, regular voter.

Toddzoid · 25/05/2016 07:20

Yep, I always vote.

PinguForPresident · 25/05/2016 07:31

Yes. My mum drummed into me at an early age that women died for my right to vote and I should always use it.

I'm at Glastonbury for the referendum, so I've registered for a postal vote

Idliketobeabutterfly · 25/05/2016 07:45

Yes. Normally vote but missed one local a long time ago as I came home from work and fell asleep as was so tired.

HungryHorace · 25/05/2016 08:29

Regular voter here. We got notification of our postal votes in the post the other day which will apparently arrive by 17th June. We go away on 21st, so hopefully they'll appear on time!

squishee · 25/05/2016 08:42

I am going to vote by post, as an overseas voter (expat). The referendum did prompt me to register. As I would usually prefer to vote in the country I'm actually living in... But this time is obviously different!
