Took 92 yr Nan to polling station, she's registered online. In a very loud voice she said "I've heard Susan Hall has just clinched it - Tory HQ very confident". A groan went up from the waiting voters. #UsePens

#usepens rides again
In the run-up to tomorrow’s elections in Scotland, Wales and parts of England, we’ve seen posts urging voters to take their own pen to the polling station rather than use the pencil provided.

Here’s what the rules say about using pens and pencils to vote.
Should you take a pen to a polling station? – Full Fact
Ahead of the 2026 elections, we’ve seen posts on social media suggesting it may be safer to cast your vote in pen rather than pencil to avoid vote tampering - but is that true?

won’t be voting for for any party that wants to deport half my neighbours nor the camouflaged corbynistas and there’s no regional nationalists around here thankfully so that doesn’t leave much option #usepens

That's that then! Hope you all remembered to #usepens. 😜

Kudos to all the workers and volunteers who enabled our precious democracy today. Whatever the results, and in spite of a flagrantly dishonest press, we had a free vote which we can be confident will be counted fairly. I'm grateful for that.

I thought of @scottwortley.bsky.social when I saw a notice in the polling station saying they provided pencils for convenience but voters were at liberty to #usepens if they wished.

Brief trip to the bad place confirms #usepens remains a reliable arsehole indicator

There were a lot of first time voters in their thirties and forties for the Ref, hence #usepens trending
