AIBU?

Even more basic Mumsnetpoll. Are you going to vote in June?

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

I'm already registered.
Most of the women where I work don't vote though which makes me sad.

Always vote. Always registered - I think it's illegal not to be registered although not illegal not to vote.

I always vote but am considering not voting in the referendum. Despite trying to research and learn I simply do not feel I can make an informed decision. i don't know which way to vote, and I am not sure guessing is a particularly good idea.

I always vote in other elections because I have opinions and feelings about what/who I am voting for. But the EU referendum I simply don't know. And therefore I don't think I should vote.

Yes - spoiled my paper for the PCC but will actually vote this time.

I am signed up for postal votes so it's very easy. I am SO DONE with this campaign already that I'll be sending off my ballot as soon as it's in my hands (due to land here on Tuesday).

I can't vote (despite having grown up in England and lived here for 18 years! not terribly democratic is it) but my friend has said he will vote In for me Grin bless him

I think it's ridiculous that my (w. European) parents pay a good deal of tax, are fully integrated in their community, use English as their first language, have lived in Eng for over 20 years and yet aren't seen as enough a part of this nation to contribute. And they can vote in their birth countries without having much more than a foreigner's understanding of the issues that have evolved since they left, just because they've got the right passports, even though much of what they vote on won't affect them at all seeing as though they live in a different country! Me, I'm moving abroad in a couple of weeks, it doesn't affect me so much, except that one day I may need to pay for a visa to come back to my home Hmm I also happen to love England and want what's best for it, and I don't think jumping ship is the right way forward. If I were allowed to vote, I would vote irrespective of my personal situation - I would vote in the interests of the UK.

just a leetle rant
I know it would be very awkward to organise...

YES! I don't even live in the UK anymore but made sure to register for a postal vote. I do always exercise my right to vote anyway.

Yes, regular voter.
Have already received my card notifying me that I will be receiving a postal vote (we always do postal) card nearer the time.
