Have you have voted every single vote you been eligible for

[Beon]

Have voted all but two votes:
. 2005 GE as moved address about 20 miles away 3-4 weeks before the poll date
. 2019 EU. What was the bloody point in voting for candidates to sit there for 7 months?

All except one. When I worked in care I got stuck on a double lone working shift so was working 7am to 10pm missing the whole opening times.

Nope not voted for 15 years, after working in the banking industry I realised how little power our politicians actually have. So much entwined in corporations (including banks) and foreign entities, our politicians are almost figureheads. Surrounding them are the aforementioned entities and “advisors” representing various vested interests. Honestly, a politician has relatively little if any weight on how the country is run. Same for Brexit, so many dont realise that Brexit was ALWAYS going to happen! It was necessary for the City….which itself is its own corporate state. Anyway, vote or don't vote, if you can vote for them they're already vetted to act as a politician and will do what they are instructed to do. If they try anything once they're in…Watch how quickly they are removed. Personally, Id say look after yourself and family and certainly at present - prep for rough seas!

Yes I’ve voted in everything since I was 18. Even the police and crime commissioner elections.

No, I didn't want to vote in NI elections as I didn't want to relate in any way to the politics there (I left age 18 and have never lived there since), and then I lived in countries where I didn't have voting rights for about 20 years. But since I got citizenship in my current country, I have voted in all elections.

Yes.
You have no right to moan if you don't.

I was allowed to vote in 1969, when I was 19. I've voted in every general, European and local election since.

I'm my family it was considered a dereliction of duty not to vote.

My adult child only started to vote when Johnson was elected as leader of the conservative party. But has voted consistently since.

General, yes. Local, no.

I've voted in every election since I was old enough to vote- I'm 65 now so that's a fair few elections. The first time I voted I went to the polling station with my mum and our next door neighbour, who was quite politically active. It was a bit of a celebratory occasion, a sort of coming of age.

Yes… I always remember the suffragettes

Yes

Women have chained themselves to railings and thrown themselves in front of horses so I can have a vote - I always use it, and always will. I once spoiled my paper, but I will never not be bothered to put in my ballot paper.

I think I missed 1 local election about 10 years ago and was in Australia for the 1997 GE. Apart from that have always voted. It should be compulsory.

Every single election since 1979. At one local election I voted for just two of the local councillors because the third was a lazy so and so who did bugger all in the ward and should have been deselected.

Yes. Voted in every election I could since turning 18. But I'm the great granddaughter of a Suffragette so I wouldn't not vote.

I missed a police commissioner one because I couldn't leave unwell ds or take him with me.

Yes - it’s an important part of living in a democracy.
People died for our right to vote.
If you don’t vote you have no right to complain about the outcome.

I’m appalled that there are such low turnouts at some elections.

Yes, I’ve been voting since 1974.

No. I applied for a postal vote for the last general election (which was in peak holiday season here in Scotland) and my postal vote didn’t arrive in time (with less than a week to the election).

yes of course

In all but one local election when I’d just given birth (before postal votes were permitted)

General elections, always. Local, never.

Yes, I never forget that women died to get us the vote. I have voted everytime and always will if I can.

All except one - which was a local vote about whether my area should have a mayor. I hadn’t really made up my mind, but actually forgot on the day.

We ended up getting one but it hasn’t been that great tbh.

Its a funny area to have a mayor as it’s quite an even split between the main parties, and have a mayor who will only ever be from one of them doesn’t quite work, whereas the council is NOM.

Yes. Women died, went to prison, were force-fed and goodness knows what other horrors so I could have a vote.
Plus, if you don't vote, you don't get to complain or moan about who gets elected.

I missed one. There was a house fire on the route I usually follow to the polling station, and I couldn't figure out an alternative way through the one way system in time, as I had finished work late in the evening.
