Not me...but I do remember my first vote. It did feel strangely empowering though.
Was it the first time you were eligible to vote?
Or have you been apathetic before but more interested this time?
Will be my first time when I go later this eve, wasn't eligible last time around
I remember the first time I voted. I was so young and excited that I turned up a day early at the polling station. A case of premature election 😀
I remember my first vote, and I remember voting for all the wrong reasons without looking into the depths of it and without realising the backhanded election techniques. And now realise I was too young to be given such a responsibility.

The infamous 79 election for me
1st time voting here due to age, after educating myself on many political issues it was a hard choice to vote for any of them really.
but I do remember my first vote. It did feel strangely empowering though.
I remember being disappointed no one shook my hand afterwards to congratulate me for my fine act of civic duty.
All the more so because it was in France. Still, voting Communist was well cool 8)
I did, 3rd one I could have done though. Felt strangely satisfied after.

I've just voted for the first time, aged 45!
Wasn't very exiting. Only voted as I was walking past on my way to the post office.
I remember my first time. Jim Marshall (lab) Leicester south in the landslide of 1997. I also laughed my ass off when Portillo lost his 'safe' seat. Cabinet minister to, errr, rich bloke in 16 hours. 😆
Gosh, 'New Labour' was just seemed like some sort of election slogan back then didn't it?
wasn't my first today.
the polling station is my old scout hut. i remember many polling days being made to stand outside whilst my mother voted, there was a sense of mystery and importance in the poling station.
when i voted for the first time (in person first vote was postal) i remember being extremeley apprehensive on the way in and then shocked at how casual it seemed and how it was just the same old scout hut with a few booths and pencils on strings, i left with a strenge sense of dissapointment that there was not more to it or something.
did get to vote on my 18th birthday (many elections ago)
