Well!!! They very nearly didn't get my vote! No Dogs Allowed!!!!! So I did a good imitation of Hayley having a hissy one....pmsl.......

our is the normal community centre however, i remeber the first time we voted it was in a porta cabin at the topof the road, they still used the cummunity centre but had the porta as a extra one xxx

Just been watching on the local news that some people gave up their living rooms for the day, and there is even a polling station set up in a little caravan!

Village hall for us.

Ours is my old secondary school...ah memories!

My Polling station is the old WW1 Territorial Army Drill Hall

I think the turnout is good this year. In the Euro election, which took a lot of protest votes, I was on my own in the polling station, no sign of anyone else, and yet they reckoned they had had the highest turnout!

Today, I had to wait! I've never seen so many people in and out as I walked down the street on the way there, then to have to wait, thats a first!

Mine is in the club house of the local bowling club

Village hall, we asked what sort of turn out they had and they replied very good.

That makes a change...lol

ours is our village institute which has recently been refurbished so there is a cafe, quite a few people were having a cup of tea before voting!!
In the past we have voted in villages united reformed church.
Our local newspaper is reporting that in one area the polling booth is the bedroom of a bungalow which the owner lets the council use for all the elections as there is not other suitable venue!!
Apparently the T****S store is also a polling station this year!!!!

Ours is the village hall - not very historic and usually smells odd!

Are some of these in older historic buildings though? I like the Friends meeting house, if it's anything like the one here in Norwich, it'll be a lovely place.


Paps outside yours BC? *tsk* why didn't you sneak in undercover? lol

The primary school that is being used for our polling station is a lovely old Victorian built school, formerly a Church of England School, and you can still see the separate entrances for boys and girls at the front.
