If you had multiple votes today, choose who your "main" vote was for and elaborate in the replies. This isn't meant to be scientific so you can decide for yourself what that means!

(I will make the results hidden ASAP, and then I'll make them visible again tonight.)

Voted Greens across the board and for Sadiq Khan as my second-place mayoral candidate.

At the time of voting, and before Karl could hide it presumably, it's 50/50 Green/Tories. :datass: / :dread:

I had five votes in total. I went with Labour where I could and Lib Dem second choice where there was only one Labour option.

Edit - Layla, if you're reading this, I actually voted Lib Dem for everything and will you marry me?

A little later today I'll be voting Plaid Cymru in the main election, and the Lib Dem guy for PCC because he seems the most genuinely anti-authoritarian based on his manifesto.

Have the maximum poll options been reached? Cause I'll be honest, it feels a bit reductive having SNP, Sinn Fein and Plaid Cymru lumped into one option.

(SNP voter for main and list but haven't been out yet)

EDIT: Also, never heard of Propel. Are they Welsh or Northern Irish misogynist transphobes?

Just looked up Propel, feels like they were the Welsh blueprint for Salmond's nonsense.

I'll be voting Labour for PCC and that's all I have to vote on

Quite disappointed with the available candidates though tbh, going Labour only really based on previous vote share suggesting them most likely to challenge the Conservative vote. They were also the only candidate to flyer us so that's something? None of the candidates have even mentioned policing of protest, all of them are just pledging to "reduce crime" which is a bit, well, obvious.

Voted Labour. Really like Anas Sarwar.

I posted this in the politics thread: Didn't vote SNP for the first time in about 7 years. I genuinely am fed up of the division the referendum brings about in Scotland. We've done nothing but argue with our friends, relatives etc for the best part of the last 10 years. The only thing that's guaranteed with another referendum is that around 45% of the country will be unhappy with the outcome.

Also fundamentally disagree with their policies on p1 testing and the named person scheme. Not to mention the well-intentioned but poorly executed Hate Crime Bill.

We had four elections here and most were split with first and second preferences.

I went for a mix of Green and Labour.

I want a second referendum on Scottish independence to be held because it would weaken the argument that the single AV referendum has settled the matter of electoral reform.

Probably not voting as it's only Police and Crime Commissioner and I don't know where my polling station is.
If I did I might vote Green/Independent and/or just write Tory banana splits

Labour councillor and Labour police chief whatever, although anything but blue or purple would have got it.

It's too late to change it now, but I'll try to bear in mind this criticism for next time. It was only intended to make the poll easier to engage with - I voted Plaid Cymru myself so it was no slight or anything I promise!

Haven't decided yet. Probably going to vote Green in general but I have quite a bit of time for the Lib Dem candidate so he's in with a shout as well.

Could imagine Labour might lose the Liverpool mayoralty. They've obviously had to weather the shitstorm around Joe Anderson, but their clean break candidate to usher in a new era? Joanne Anderson :lol: - I did Google to see if it was Joe in a wig...

I voted by post, but before I did so, I researched the last bunch of results here. Both votes were very closely contested between Lib Dem and Tory, with the LDs narrowly winning. I therefore voted a mixture of Green and Lib Dem, the latter purely as an anti-Tory vote.
