Apparently you can take your own pen to vote

[claig]

Saw an article on the web advising to take your own pen to vote rather than using the pencil.

Checked if that was OK and it seems it is

"Do I have to mark my cross with a pencil on a string?

No, if you prefer you can use a pen, even if it's your own. While a cross is usually called for, you could theoretically mark the box with a tick instead. The important thing is that your voting intention is clear."

I didn't know you could take your own pen. I have now resolved to do just that. Thanks Mumsnet.

So what if someone believes people conspire, it's human nature to conspire. Some theories takes ages to prove, Einstein's theory of relativity is nearing being proven.

The only way your vote can be changed is by someone with a spare key to the box and they only have the time between ten and it returning to the count to change them.

Postal votes, another story.

I'm planning on taking a sharpie.
