If I’d had a handy pocket camera like yours my film would have been very similar as our Polling Station was the “village room” of the sports complex just down the road from us- about 100m. Alas my vote didnt make much difference it seems as this is a tory “safe seat”. There wasn’t even a videoblogging candidate to vote for!

Intresting to see the voting process in other countries. BTW Frank if you ever return to the US let me know I’ll get you out of the city and into the woods

Great blog. I do my voting via mail and since i have never lived in the U.S. since being of voting age I’ve never been to a real voting booth. keep it real. -Joel

And just to show how quick the whole viting and counting process is, the results for Ipswich have now been announced, about 6 hours after I voted:

My favorite bit of this is the unnoticed camera. Catches that expression of total boredom on that woman’s face quite effectively.

I went to a polling station today, I couldnt vote or film. But it seems almost exactly the same as yours was set up. But mine was in a church. I guess that’s so the people who vote conservative can pray for their souls after they’ve voted.

I have the feeling you’re going to say you voted conservative now. ha

nice undercover video.

Enjoyed watching the democratic process in the UK. This past November, I had to wait almost 2hrs before I finally got in the building to cast my ballot.
