Voted and have to say it was like a game of bingo.3 cards, one for Assembly,one for council and the AV which was a yes or no but the others were madness.
I wasn't going to. Wanted to see how it felt abstaining. Realised how shit that was just now and did it. Didn't have my polling card and they didn't ask for any ID. You need less proof to vote than you do getting a library card. 
Voted; Labour, Green, and GTF to AV.

That's because a library card is far more important, a single vote is worth nothing

I voted Yes to AV......runs!...... I'm kinda hoping, amongst other things, that it may encourage more people to vote in constituencies like mine where people don't bother to vote because they think it's a foregone conclusion and nobody else much turns up as a candidate for the same reasons....we'll see
Yay Super!

Anything to try and stop him having the safest seat in the country is worth a bit of a try by my reckoning!
Gordon Bennett! Could you not at least egg him?

Think the local Tory farmers would ban me from buying eggs.....and I don't produce my own any more LOL
I'm not offended. I was trying to find a way to circumlocute mentioning the MP, but now you have done. Should William j. Hague ever lose his seat to another under the FPTP, AV, PR, JR, or JCB systems then I would probably show my bare bottom at the Market or even Stone Cross.
YouGov tracking poll giving Lib Dems 10%. Ha
Damn! They're doing better than I hoped.

Phew.....pleased to know I'll never see yer ass, including in Binn's winder
.... I know, I know...only too bleeding well....i'd just like it if some of the other buggas turned up to put in their vote...Apparently q a good turn out here today...probably all the bloody Tories voting No !!!
One's elterns have spent sixty odd years of trying votes for their party, tactical votes, and the lot. Hague won't go until he passes it on to the next Tory candidate!
Private viewings are available btw.

I did too ............not really sure it was the right thing to do but ...........with the very limited info available that's the decision I came too.I still find it hard to believe that on something so important as electoral reform the information available was so piss poor.
Clegg's Sheffield council expected to go back to Labour!

GJ, if I was still living in your constituency, I may have voted No.......As for tactical voting: NEVER I'm, (naively?) hoping that AV could lessen that?

No exit polls north of the border for some reason, but the last poll taken over the weekend and up till Tuesday was published and showed voting intentions as 4% for the Lib Dems in the constituency vote and 3% in the regional. AAAAhhhhhhahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!1111 ! Please let it be accurate !
I love when the results filter in. Except this time we have 3 ballots so will be ages before they are counted.
