If you've tried to visit the London Elects website today to check where you polling station is or similar, you will probably have found the site is down.


It's been down for the best part of the day. (Lots of money spent on advertising/posters, little on web infrastructure, it seems.)


If you want to check where you need to go, our (Open Rights Group) wiki page may help you. This page lists all polling stations in Southwark (building and street, and postcode where it's been provided to us).

There's also one for Lambeth:

and so on.


These are the pages we're using ourselves for planning, as we clearly can't use the London Elects ones!


Happy voting tomorrow!

Correction: the LE home page is not down, but if you try and find anything out (your polling station, info about voting in Southwark etc.), you just get a 404 page (and before that you got a fairly horrific error page). They seem to have a database problem. Still a problem at the moment (6.30pm)

It's 7.53pm the day before the election, and the London Elects 'find your polling station' website facility is still down, as is the 'elections in my area' facility. Apparently London Elects is only able to function via mobile phone texting right now.


Here's a complete list on the Web of polling stations by London borough, on the Open Rights Group website:

I didn't get a polling card (ED Royal Mail being funny again?) whereas I did receive all the other election related post... so it's good to know where the polling stations are. By the way... can I vote without a polling card? I do have id and proof of address with me and plan to go after work....

    • MSN is an aggregator. Not a news source   the source is a Nick Gutteridge article in the Telegraph so, closer to reform than BBC   (I would question BBC news reliability these days mind you) It would be difficult to describe gutteridge as objective.  But it would be easy to claim he is frequently wrong, bordering on bonkers   https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/n/nf-nj/nick-gutteridge/ There is no physical reality where, as we run out of fossil fuels and turn to whatever will replace them, where existing fossil fuels don’t become more expensive  not this country, not any country - you might see some short term ups and downs as politics plays its part - but to whine about your political enemies tackling the dwindling fossil fuels is both childish and playing with people’s lives
    • I popped in to have a chat with them and a look around after I'd eaten somewhere else so didn't sample anything, but they seemed to have plenty of staff so hopefully service won't be too slow! Planning to try soon. 
    • My husband was in a cycling accident just after 10pm on Friday, May 30.    He hit the pedestrian crossing pole going west down East Dulwich Grove, just past Glengarry Road.    He was knocked out and doesn’t remember anything - and I wanted to say thank you to whoever called the ambulance, and was there with him after the accident. (And to give you an update: thankfully, there was no head injury. He got very lucky with just a fractured face.)   We’re trying to get CCTV footage - but if there any witnesses who can help paint a clearer picture of what happened, it would be really appreciated.
