The EU Referendum: How have you voted?

[PhilipRhayader]

I voted Leave, and I can't describe the buzz it gives you. It's exhilarating!

If you vote for Remain, you're voting for things to stay as they are (best case scenario) or for us to get dragged down economically by the Italian banking crisis (most realistic scenario). Nothing to get exited about.

When you put your cross next to Leave, however, it really is the most euphoric sensation. I highly recommend everyone here tries it!

God (if s/he exists) does love a trier!

Not sure having sex was an option on the vote card

Sounds like you just need a different election then...

At the polling place I work at each time, we have a prize for the first person who finds one with 'yes' written next to the Sex Party box when sorting and counting the Senate ballots later in the evening.

My email account was filled with loads of Vote Remain spam today.
I thought campaigning was not allowed today?
Also the Mirror & the Express are telling people how to vote aswell.

I find this totally unacceptable.
I can't vote anyway.

You mean you just couldn't be bothered to register right...?

I voted to remain! I was the second person to cast a vote at my local polling station.

I just had to go back to the polling station with my mother for her to vote. She couldn't get her wheelchair up the ramp as it was too steep so they allowed her to vote from outside the bus (this was the voting station for us) as long as she could see the booths.

Very friendly help and a quick solution - HCC should be commended

I voted remain, although we did receive a flyer through the letterbox at around 1pm from the leave campaign.

Is this allowed or not?

 

[PhilipRhayader]

I voted Remain.

 

[DaleCooper]

Just to make sure they got the message I put a big "X" for eXit in both boxes, they can't ignore that!

 

[backontrack]

Remain (in the school mock referendum).

Ah yes... Forgot you can not vote

I hope all the people voting leave remembered to take their pens with them.

And, similarly, to realise that this is a problem worldwide.

Remain.

Sadly there was no "Remain, but David Cameron is still a cock" option

 

[generalvegitable]

Voted remain, partly because I believe that the UK should take it's rightful place as one of the leaders of a united states of europe, but mostly because I don't trust westminster one bit (especially with the tories in power).

 

[backontrack]

Remain.

Sadly there was no "Remain, but David Cameron is still a cock" option

+1 - I hate this government.

 

[deltic]

Interesting to compare this poll of people who have actually voted to the one "Do you believe the UK should stay in or leave the EU?". It appears the leavers in the latter poll have not yet voted or have switched to remain. Given the virtual lack of movement in sterling and stock market it seems remain might have won by a reasonable margin

Then you can't be a real trainspotter.

The closest any trainspotter will get to sex is cabbing a class 69.

Not just an election he needs by the sounds of things... ahem...

I prefer pencil. Speaking of which, I need to put lead in mine...

There are blue pills for that

So you must be a draughtsman.

Not all members of this board are trainspotters; nor male; and some enjoy some aforementioned activities with regularity!

Announcement by guard on train tonight 'lf you're not sure how to vote, do what I did. Look at your belly burton and see if you're an in or an outie.'

 

[cjmillsnun]

I'm hoping for an exact 50/50 result. Wouldn't that be interesting?

50/50 would mean remain. Leave would have to have a majority.

Flyers are permitted. It's part of any polling day campaign (known as Get Out The Vote). It's why on council and general elections you have people sat outside polling stations (known as tellers) asking for your polling card number. Political parties will share this information as it saves going and leafleting/knocking up people who have already voted.

50/50 would mean remain. Leave would have to have a majority.

Not true. According to Jenny Watson, who chairs the electoral commission (ie the one who announces the result)

If it's a dead heat then it's a dead heat. There is no casting vote. It's an advisory referendum and that's what I would declare."

From here (the update at 1630)

There was one of those with a leave badge and a clipboard, outside where I voted today. He was shooed away from the door by one of the officers as he could have seen into the polling station from where he was standing.

 

[richw]

Voted remain. There were people around the polling stations - say the approach roads handing out propaganda which I didn't think was allowed?

 

[Harbornite]

I voted for remain. End of.

I know, I found out the hard way.

End of what?

You can stop campaigning as this thread is for those who have already voted so we can't go back and say "excuse me but I've changed my mind."

I think that he (or she) might be having a 'gutfright' about the possible result.
