In my village it is the delightful village hall next to the wonderful pub I'm sitting in at the moment.
Sadly I'm registered to vote in Weymouth, so it was a postbox.
Anyway drizzle is easing so I'm off for a ride.

Local school, approx 100 metres away. Took me all of about a minute to get there this morning 🙂

It's some sort of small community centre or other, I don't actually know what it's day job is.

The one behind my house is a sports hall but due to new houses being built it's too small. So I have to go to the sports centre down the road towards the new houses. Guess where the people who live in the new estates go?

The local primary school, just 200m away but I do postal voting 'cos I'm not going to mix with the great unwashed*

* Or it might be because I'm lazy and with postal voting you can do it in advance and not worry where you are on the polling day

Community centre at the end of the cul de sac. Going to pop in on the wat home from work in my lycra, that'll make sure the officers have earned their £200 or whatever it is.

I dunno what you'd call it, not a village hall in the traditional sense, but it's the sort of place where they have toddler nurseries during the day and yoga classes in the evening. Between Tescos Express and the pub.

This (which is a bit sad given I drive past it twice a day)

I think mine moved from the village hall to the Church Hall for the last election so I'm guessing it'll still be there when I go & vote later.

Only about 500mtrs between them anyway so not too far to walk if I go to the wrong one.

It's a primary school that's closed for the day where people go to vote, but that's not important right now.

Local arts centre about 500 metres from my house. But I voted by post, so I don't need to visit.

Local Methodist church.

No idea if they have giant pencils or not:

Not my dog as I'd have to tie him up near the Tory canvasser standing in the rain trying to get final votes.

Church Hall. The happy clappy modern style, not the style used to train the home guard in dads army.

Bowling club, about a 3min walk away. I drove there.

Green Party voter?

Methodist church, next to the park and a minutes walk from my house. Remember when I first voted when I was still registered at my parent's house, the polling station was in my infant school. Felt really odd to be walking around there as an adult, seemed so much smaller, obviously.

Someone's conservatory.

It used to be a different conservatory, again just round the corner but there's been some jerrymandering recently.

A Working Mans club. Always fun to as there is a short but steep flight of steps to get up and the wheelchair and disabled access is round the back in the rubble car park and often blocked by cars. I usually spend more time helping people up and down the stairs than casting my vote. Really wound me when Shahid Malik refused to help a wheelchair user as it was against the rules, didn't stop the other candidate there from helping.

Portacabin - it's over the road from my house, very handy - it was only missing for 10 days before they brough it back after the local elections.

The old TA drill hall (now an Army cadet hall)

0.2km, so no excuse but I have a postal vote since way back when I never knew where I'd be one day to the next.

That said - I've wavered so long wondering which way to vote in the past 2 weeks that in the end I didn't post it and will have to go there and hand it in person to the returning officer anyway.

A village hall in the next village along, just shy of 3 miles away.

Just idly wondering,

All these churches... would that be problematic for some of the more devout of other faiths? Are there any religions which forbid the entering of other places of worship?

)Genuine question, I'm not trying to start an argument. Just curious.)
