Re: Elections 2016 - Work as a Poll Clerk

I had a good one but so tiring; I'm pretty much a zombie today. Home by 3.30am after the count. And a photo of my elbow ended up on the local newspaper Twitter feed!! :eek: (close up of the lady next to me as we counted leave votes).

Did anyone else experience pen-gate? It snowballed at my polling station to a point where nearly everyone came armed with a pen; but the ward I counted was mostly pencil.

Re: Elections 2016 - Work as a Poll Clerk

We had a few pen-gates! ;D Honestly, I can't believe some people. One woman actually came out and said "you will change my vote". Yeah, really? We had 2049 people in so we had ample opportunity to change votes, NOT. Then when challenged, she amended it to say it was at the count it would happen... :-X :-X :-X

Yes! The amount of people moaning about lack of pens as if that's different to every other vote :/
I'm knackered today, it was my first time as a poll clerk and it was such a long day! I'd do it again though :)

Re: Elections 2016 - Work as a Poll Clerk

Sorry to open this thread of nightmares but just wanted to know

Are you having local elections this year?

2017 is a fallow year here in Leeds and we don't have any (woo!) but with not long to go it seems quite a few councils are having elections this year!

County council elections here but no city council this year. I'm signed up for the same polling station & PC/PO as both of last year's. Hopefully doing the count on the Friday too.

Am sure you will, they must have loads of people that sign up months away and then drop out when it gets nearer the time!

I'm Poll Clerking both... Still haven't managed to do a count yet but hoping they will need more people in June!

Great way to earn a few quid - chatting, drinking copious amounts of tea and eating biscuits while being entertaining by some of the local nutters!
