We just voted and no-one even looked at our ID (we took out-of-date residency cards and passports). I knew they wouldn't, everyone knows everyone else in this small village.

VOTING DAY IS THIS SUNDAY 22nd MAY
Well we have been and voted and one felt 18 again since it is so different to UK. More like the 60's with the GC guard on the gate. However once inside it was more relaxed and we were welcomed by Janice who told us how the process inside the station works. The poll clarks were outnumbered by the party reps but it was clear who was in charge and the lady behind the clear plastic poll box speaks some English so it was really very easy They just checked our passports against the list crossed us off with a highlighter and that was it (I have a new passport since we registered on the Padron so the number could not have been the same)

A word of warning the polling station is not in the infants school directly opposite Mercadonna it is about 100m futher down the hill past the BP station turn right and it is immediately on the left you won't miss it a very smart GC officer is at the gate of the senior school.

Remember we have one chance in four years to make a difference today is that day, the world did not end last night so lets make it better for the next four years Vote today!!!
