Victor Wright Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Voting..... done! Anthony Powers....IOC, got my ward councillor vote. Tim Price......Independent, got my parish councillor vote! (Such an enthusiastic guy, with a real love for this part of the city.) Diana Toynbee.... Green, National election. I'm very happy that I've put all my crosses in the right place, for the right people. Hmm, I thought there were only 2 votes? I voted for IOC local councillor and my vote for the general election, I did not see a 3rd?
flamboyant Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 I've just cast my votes! My polling station was extremely busy queued up outside for 15 minutes and as I drove back down the Road there were dozens of people walking up the road. The girl at the polling station said its been manic all day. IOC got my vote but I will be policing you, so don't let me down! I would still like an answer to Dippys question! Good luck Councillor Vaughan Powell if you were my local Councillor you'd get my vote on the plus side you have my sisters and her hubbies!
dippyhippy Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Posted May 7, 2015 Three votes, three ballot papers, Victor! One white, one yellow and one green!
flamboyant Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Sorry Dippy I'm with Victor on this one. One yellow one white no green one! Perhaps someone could explain why you had three votes in your area I'm sure there's a reason.
dippyhippy Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Posted May 7, 2015 Take a look at The Herefordshire Council Elections 2015 thread. Currently six topics down, on the front page. Megilleland has posted some images of the three, yes three, options !! TWG has posted a handy link!
Victor Wright Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Three votes, three ballot papers, Victor! One white, one yellow and one green! Belmont, I only had 2 papers, 1 white, 1 yellow ?
dippyhippy Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Posted May 7, 2015 Honestly folks, I'm not making this up! Check the thread... post number 187....some of us had three crosses to put in three boxes!
flamboyant Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 My mistake Dippy, some parish councils were uncontested so remained in office. If they were contested then they would be up for election hence why you had three votes whilst others only had two to contend with.
flamboyant Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Is anyone else out there a bit nervous? I will be gutted if the CONservatives get the Hereford vote and damage our Council further!
dippyhippy Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Posted May 7, 2015 I'm quietly optimistic that good will triumph over...... inept!
greenknight Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Can I help with this ..I think the third paper is for those within the city council where there are also elections which don't apply outside that boundary.
Ubique Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Greenknight said .........My dear chap "ruck" ...You should be setting an example to the young uns and what about the newbies they are going to think this is an extremist site! Hopefully the young uns and newbies will do some research and realise that Robert RUCK is the IOC Candidate for my patch. Had to smile at Greenknights second paragraph , perhaps my imagination was running wild or it brought back memories !
Ubique Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Can I help with this ..I think the third paper is for those within the city council where there are also elections which don't apply outside that boundary. Greenknight , my knowledgable friend , yes you are correct .
Ubique Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Sorry Ubique..could not resist! Guess that somebody would pick it up .. Role on 3pm Friday.........prior to that I am having lunch with some reprobates I " worked " with in 1965 ..... Will just have to go easy on the leomade !

Ubique lemonade???...or is that the dash in your pint of ale?
greenknight Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Anyway if I had known that the hearing wasn't so good these days I wouldn't have insisted that the nag took here shoes when we bounded up your drive..All the best.
dippyhippy Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Posted May 7, 2015 Lemonade Ubique?? Good Heavens! Have you been for your "Well Man" check up again??? Are they giving you grief about your binge drinking??? Put down that lemonade immediately .....and open a bottle of red!
Ubique Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Greenknight ....have you ever tried a Tiger tops ? To keep it on post I believe that we will have the same two MPs tomorrow - just hope that locally we are IOC / Ind.
Ubique Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Dippy , after all these years I have learnt to deny everything. " Mr Ubique , how much alcohol do you drink in a week ? " Me " don't drink , gave it up in 2012 when you told me I was a binge drinker because I drunk two thirds of a bottle of wine on a Saturday and Sunday and nothing during the week ". And I keep,a straight face ! Tiger tops could get me started again ! Roll on 3pm Friday.
dippyhippy Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Posted May 7, 2015 Drum roll please.....! The polls are now closed. And so..... we wait!
Bill Thomas Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Done my bit, lets hope everyone else did theirs. Exciting stuff this
Colin James Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 We should have an idea for Hereford by about 4am.
dippyhippy Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Posted May 7, 2015 Whoopee! I've looked forward to these elections for sooooo long, I can hardly contain my excitement! The last by election....I actually dreamt about Jon Norris!! I wonder who will feature in my dreams tonight???? As long as it doesn't turn into a nightmare.....I don't mind. (But I draw the line at Pat, Harry or Tony trying to sneak into my subconscious..... and I don't particularly want Dave Greenow milling around in my mind either!)
Paul Neades Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 Amazing day in the ward, I got across to Withington & Bartestree. Very busy and and amazing turnout. IM humbled by all the people that have voted for me and I hope tomorrow brings the result they voted for and IOC do well.
dippyhippy Posted May 7, 2015 Author Report Posted May 7, 2015 Me too, Paul! I bet you won't sleep much tonight either!

flamboyant Posted May 8, 2015 Report Posted May 8, 2015 Can someone explain how the Leader of the Council is elected? Did Tony Johnson have to stand down before the elections, so effectively there is no Council Leader until after the elections?
