Also there's nowhere on the page telling you where to send it to. Still loving stupid, though.

Regarding the ballot numbers: these are printed on the reverse of the ballot, so you'd have to work at it to have them appear in the photo.

It's not illegal to take selfies or pictures of your voting card. There's only two illegal things you can do, taking a photo of the back of the voting card (Which has the unique number on it) or taking a photo of someone else filling out a voting card (And why the hell would you do that?)

It's perfectly legal to take photos but not recommended because as this threads shown a lot of people think it's super illegal and will get real weird about it.

how so? The EC explicitly warned GiveYourVote for this. The relevant bit of legislation goes

quote:

s66(3) No person shall:

(a) interfere with or attempt to interfere with a voter when recording his vote;

(b) otherwise obtain or attempt to obtain in a polling station information as to the candidate for whom a voter in that station is about to vote or has voted;

(c) communicate at any time to any person any information obtained in a polling station as to the candidate for whom a voter in that station is about to vote or has voted, or as to the number (or other unique identifying mark) on the back of the ballot paper given to a voter at that station;

(d) directly or indirectly induce a voter to display his ballot paper after he has marked it so as to make known to any person the name of the candidate for whom he has or has not voted.

they weren't in 2016. They called Brexit fairly accurately and people just ignored what the polls were saying. There was a lot of "things always slide back to the status quo"


ComRes haven't published their turnout predictions like YouGov have but they're basing it on historical data, so they're probably estimating a lower young voter turn out than we might actually get if you're looking for a silver lining.

They're also getting a massive change from their raw data because they're allocating don't knows to whichever party's leader the respondent said would make the best Prime Minister which would have got them the correct result in 2015 apparently if you're looking for a reason to not get your hopes up and follow the ComRes poll. I do think the difference between the perception of Cameron and Miliband's competence was probably wider than that of Corbyn and May though.

Yes, which is why it's obviously not how you should interpret it. Any time this laws been used it was due to someone else being compromised, not yourself.

I think that holds the point that the polls were suggesting it was a close race for the hung parliament plurality, and then the tories somehow found a majority

pretty sure I remember many in the thread pointing out that tory complacency was going to do for them right there and then, too. A better call than the polsters made.

Have the Tories polled below 43% in any poll yet? My bet is that there is a little bit more tightening to come in the last few days from the the polls showing the biggest lead, with an 8% lead being the actual result on the day.

I'm not saying he's playing nth dimensional chess and is actively trying to be incarcerated for something dumb as gently caress, I'm saying that's kinda the risk of anything provocative and if there was any contact with a lawyer at all then it's probably going to have come up that the artist is the one in the poo poo, not those who are going to actually be sending vote selfies

Didn't Banksy get revealed by all the papers about 18 months ago? He was a normal looking white guy from Bristol called Robin, they spoke to him and he basically said "yeah I'm Banksy, who cares who I am". Did I dream that?
