vote for election of the police and crime commissioner

[Aperitif]

BBC are reporting that "millions have been voting in the first police and crime commissioner elections in England and Wales." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20345196

So taken literally, that indicates a turnout upward of about 4%

Latest news from The Guardian...

In Gwent, one Newport polling station had no voters at all.

That'll be a P.C.S.O. then - 'Police Commissioner Scores 0'

If only they'd provided colouring pencils in every booth, I'd've gone.

Ah - how do you know they didn't?

Like others, I strongly believe the police should remain apolitical.

So out of 7 candidates for Humberside only 3 candidates were independant and, given the fact 1 of those couldn't be arsed to write a manifesto, that left my vote simple for 1st and 2nd choice.

Cameras are not allowed inside a polling station to record how a person has marked their ballot paper.

If thats yours, I'd suggest you remove the picture.

Didn't want to see you getting into trouble thats all.

I liked the Jim Gordon, Commissioner, one with the Bat Sign .

You can't accuse whoever's this is of not bothering:

There's more work gone into that than most of the candidates put into their campaigns!

Any rules on taking a photo of your postal vote at home?

There was a sign on the door of my polling station saying your vote had to be cast by 10 pm and to allow extra time for queuing.

Do they confiscate mobile phones at the door then? http://pccspoil.tumblr.com/
Edit: Link not working any more

Could be that the link no longer works to legal issues. Meaning they've been found out. I couldn't get it to load either.
But if you are caught using a camera within a Polling Station you can find yourself in trouble. I'd to remove the headcam in May this year at every Polling Station, prior to entering.

They should have extended the poll opening for when the pubs shut...
