pens and pencils will be available,
but will not be used again on the day.
Although I am hoping they can be re-used after the 72 hour period.

DH and myself both forgot about taking pencils when we voted this morning. There was a huge box of teeny tiny pencils, like there used to be for Argos stores, and we could use one of those and take them away with us. All the helpers were very smiley and nice.

Sorry for the misunderstanding - when I replied to BlueSky I was agreeing with her and your first post - both of which questioned the policy but were not rude about the implementers of the policy. I replied to that poster (grandMattie) quite clearly but am sorry for subsequent mix up

Just back from voting. It was well organised and very safe. Hand sanitiser as soon as you went in and also available on the way out.I took my own pen but there were pencils available if need be.
Nothing to get worried about, but if you were worried you could have had a postal vote.

I missed the stubby little pencil on a bit of string. IMO it was part of the ritual.

The SNP party gave us one with some canvassing leaflets so I took that with me , but was offered a super one from the SLD party so took that too .

When I went to vote today the person who was giving out the voting paper was licking her fingers to separate the pages then handing them over. Not very hygienic in "normal times".
