What about crayons? Are we allowed to use them? Would thought they would be pretty permanent however you might have to stop a few from eating them.

Given that people do really worry about pencils being supplied, that might be a consideration.

Op, why would "they" make you use a pencil for nefarious purposes and rouse the suspicion of many a simpleton when they could simply report any result "they" like? Serious question.

I think you have come to the wrong place for a serious answer to a serious question.

I would call it a crayon, it was definitely waxy not like normal graphite pencil.

That has always been the case as far back as I can remember.

What people don't realise is that these pencils contain "smart graphene" which logs the persons identity from their mobile phone and then a nano camera in the tip records which way they voted.

The only way to block the signals being recorded is to enter the polling station dressed like this -



The added bonus is that you will now have the right kit to run next year's London Marthon.

As long as they don't try and foist any of those filthy foreign chinagraph pencils on us. It's a little-englandgraph pencil, or nothing.

According to itv news it's perfectly acceptable to use a black pen

Biro was Hungarian. Brexiters shouldn't be using them on principle.

Ok "the powers that be" if you want to be pedantic.

These "powers that be", are they the same as the "they" I hear people muttering darkly about? eg "They should do something about it"

Can't they just run off some photocopies?

Plenty of sheets in the lav probably. Just mark the x carefully.

Sorted. Already got the "X" in the 'remain' box, so voters can just post them straight into the ballot. They're all heart.
