General Election 2015

2 choices?
I had 1 paper for general and 1 for local (council)
why would you have 2 choices? or is that what you mean (2 pieces of paper)?
Nah straight forward choice for general (white) but on the local you could make 2 choices from about 12 mps (was a full a4 sheet)
not sure how it works but each party had a few mps, said in the box make a maximum of 2 choices on the yellow sheet.

The voting system
First past the post.
Who am I voting for?
Between one and three councillors to represent your ward on the local council. There are 388 local councils in England and about 20,000 councillors.
For more information on your local councillors, visit your local authority website. You can find it by entering your postcode in the Your local area section.
How to vote
Always read the instructions for filling in the ballot paper carefully, even if you have voted before.
The ballot paper lists the name of each candidate along with their party name, party logo and their address.
Depending on where you live you will be able to vote for between one and three candidates. The instructions at the top of your ballot paper will tell you how many candidates you can vote for.
Simply put a cross (X) next to each candidate that you wish to vote for. You do not have to use all of your votes; the suggested number is a maximum.
If you make a mistake then you can ask the polling staff to give you another ballot paper.
You may also be voting in other elections or referendums on the same day.
Who is elected?
The number of candidates to be elected will be the same as the number of votes that you were allowed. The candidate with the most votes is elected first, then if required the candidate with the second highest number of votes is elected, then the third placed candidate.
No candidate needs to get more than half of the votes cast. If there is a tie then a candidate is selected by the drawing of lots (i.e. a method of selection by chance such as tossing a coin or picking a name out of a hat).
Sounds like the tories are sweating on a labour turn out
Yea that was the Yellow sheet I had as well. checked it on the website before. I picked the right one anyways, only had a choice of Conservatives, Labour and Green party.
PissedNaw says on the card that you don't need to take it with you.
Not sure if you moved outta your area but I'm guessing you will have to attend your local polling station from your old address if you registered at that house. As they should have your name down on the list in that one.
I moved 8 doors down the road
Will be the same Polling Station then no doubt lol.
I hate to say it
But
Niall was right

But remember, UKIP are going to get a lot of votes form the elderly who do not use social media.
