@Gafyn love the fact these work when not charged as normal headphone is a bonus. Not a of Beats more focus on brand than audio quality!

@elliotjaystocks thanks for that nugget. Been using Swiftkey but it seems to crash all the time, seems super smooth.

@woolfini emigrating to Australia / New Zealand seems like a good option again.

I might just go back to sleep. Seems like I woke up to a bad dream. #EUref

@samthebam87 Maybe you are right, what I will say is sign up for working on an election and see it from another perspective.

@bsdesigned I’ve done a quick search on the Electoral commission site but can’t find the right document. They are in PDF somewhere.

⮑ Replying to a tweet from _bsux

@bsdesigned that I’m not sure of. I believe it’s 7 years.

⮑ Replying to a tweet from _bsux

@bsdesigned ballot papers and corresponding number lists are sealed an separated and can only be opened under a court ruling.

⮑ Replying to a tweet from HelReynolds

@HelReynolds @bsdesigned pencils are used for archival purposes (ink fades)they don’t smudge either.

⮑ Replying to a tweet from samthebam87

@samthebam87 granted. I can only speak of my experience on both counting, poll clerk and presiding officer.

⮑ Replying to a tweet from samthebam87

@samthebam87 pencils have been used for at least 14 years. Never been an issue. Any paper containing multiple marks is reviewed by a panel

People can choose to #usepens and the Electoral Comission allows this, pencils are preferred for archival purposes.

#usepens scenario is a joke. Ballot boxes are serial/sealed by normal people, returned to a central count, opened in front of observers.

@lesmond I’m working as a poll clerk and the process seems flawed. We need to go electronic!
