I think my family got shafted in Hull. Most of my friends have said that they only got to fill out 1 green form but mine was white with local MPs names on, not just the party names. Does that mean I havent actually voted for the parliamentry election?!

Thats the only thing I got handed at my poll station :S

For us, at least, the white slip was the general election and there was a yellow one for the local. General election papers don't just have the party names on them, they have an MP's name, too.

Depends whether there was elections in your local council ward as well.

The parliamentary election slip has MP details, not just party names on it. We vote for an individual, not for a party.

Then my mind is at ease as the slip I had our local MPs names on.

What are the chances like for the NI parties? I'm very very ignorant when it comes to NI politics, sorry.
I understand Conservatives want the DUP to do well?

The Conservatives have a pact with the UUP (a different party than the DUP and only got 1 seat in last election), however, it is not likely that they will get many seats, it is the DUP (which got 10 seats in last election) that is the largest Unionist party in NI, which also received a letter from Gordon Brown a few days ago promising that if they supported a Labour Gov, then NI would not receive the cuts that the Conservatives have promised. However, I would think that if Cameron thought the DUP support would give him a majority he would give the same promise as Brown gave...at the end of the day, I would think that the DUP will go with whoever they get the best deal (from NI) from...
 
8 minutes to go until the exit poll :D

All the politicians etc being interviewed look like they are creaming themselves :p

We had two here as well. The council was one very long.

Sorry to pull out that old saying, but it's the 21st century FFS. You'd think we'd be past having to roll up to a specific place and have to use a piece of paper to cast our vote. If we had a (fraud free) electronic voting system, the lazy portion of the electorate who will vote in the X-Factor but can't be arsed to get down to a polling station might actually vote.
 
I must be the most dedicated voter here, lets see. :p

Got up this morning at 6:20am to go to work, which i commute a 100min train journey.

Thought i drop by the polling station on the way home, turns out its the wrong one. Got home and was knackered, but after food I managed to drag myself out again at 9:25pm to the another polling station, before I left I got my voting card (didn't have it the first time round as i didn't take it to work), and checked it online for the address on google map.

Got there only to be told it is the WRONG polling station again, it turns out the Blind College has 2 polling stations and mine one is the one furthest away from my house (where is the logic in that?), so i walked across the college grounds and finally voted in the 3rd Polling Station at 9:45pm.
