So, how many votes have YOU got?

I've got two!

One, a postal vote for Blackburn (where my "permanent" address is), and one for Hampstead and Highgate, where I've living while on contract. I notifed Blackburn council to get the council tax discount so they should know I'm not there.... hmmm.... I wonder how many people get round to notifying the electoral people (whoever they are) specifically?


The really sad thing is that even if I was tempted to use both (which I'm not), both a strong labour seats and unlikely to fall, so in a sense it doesn't matter.

It just make me wonder, if it's so easy for people to end up with two votes, how many people out there just go ahead and use them both?

Soo.... any advance on two?

Not really...well sort of, during the Euro election due to a mix up I could have voted even though I wasn't old enough, don't worry everyone I didn't vote

two votes.
One local and one national.

Two National votes!

One in Leicester, where im at Uni and one in Maldon where used to live.

If i could be arsed to get on a train i could vote twice!

There was an article in the the sunday times which brought up the voting problems, some people have their votes stolen, etc.
