Sorry, well picked up. I meant to say that they can only vote at one location, I just didn't type it as I thought in my head. I wonder if those who can vote in two locations are actually monitored to ensure that they don't?

Very odd that you effectively can vote twice in local elections. That doesn't seem right and could be open to abuse.

People living at one address can end up having 2 polling cards and voting twice if they use both. My understanding is that it is not closely supervised but that is based on experience from a while back and may have changed.

I haven't taken a polling card to a station for a while but if you have two cards that presumably means you are on the list twice. If you vote early morning then go again later on in the day there is a good chance that the people at the polling station will either have changed or forgotten you have already been. Perhaps it should be like in some countries, I think India does this, where they dab the back of your hand with ink after you have voted so that you can not vote twice. Simple and effective.

I don't know that voter fraud in the UK is a big issue but any sense that it may happen is obviously not good.

Fortunately they both demonstrate independent thought and strong social conscience - they understand very well (through their own personal experience) that not all are as fortunate as they are, and that their wellbeing is tied in with the wellbeing of others and not just themselves.

I know pretty much who they won't vote for - I don't know who they will.

Because , apart from common sense telling us that 16 yr olds don't know enough of the world to vote, we also have a law system in this country that says anyone under 18 is a child and when in legal proceedings they cannot be named to "protect " them.
( something I imagine you agree with).
Yet, you want these "children" to have the vote. 🙄

These children can get married at 16 (with parental consent), can move out aswell, work, have kids

But can't vote

My experience was that you would be on two different electoral rolls in different polling wards and therefore would only be voting once at each station. 😉

Its mountains out of mole hills. Records show that the voting patterns amongst student hardly differ irrespective of it being term time or not. You're looking at a potential difference in voting numbers of 2,000 votes. Split that over 600+ constituencies = 30 votes per constituency. And with all the hype more students will make an effort. Its soundbite politics by Labour put out purely to discredit. Its cheap snake oil sales pitches.

Does anyone really think Conservative Central office is bothered about 2,000 votes, and of which with the current student support for Labour = 440 votes? Its pure spin.

*muses thoughtfully* is it really so easy to distract the electorate?

More like DVFM. Don't Vote For Me. Might as well clear out your desk now. You ain't coming back.
