Weath May 2021 11:18pm, 6 May 2021 641 posts	0 Weath Roughly 10% on the day turnout at the station where I was Presiding from a register of just over 5,000. 3 ballots: Local, PCC as well as a local referendum question that only applied to one particular voter in the ward (who did not show!) All but 3 voters wore masks and I'd estimate about 50% brought their own pen/pencil. 8 people turned up in the last 7 minutes which slowed my usually prompt getaway (within 10 mins of closing) by another 10 mins - so not best pleased.
