Screw the polls and analysis of where May and Corbyn are.
What really matters is where the Learned Gentlemen of Vote UK choose to spend election day.
If people could give their home seat and the seat where they are campaigning that would be insightful.

As the local campaign consisted just of the freepost address and we are not standing in the neighboring constituencies, I will not be campaigning, but will probably have a nap in the evening so I'm ready to watch the results come in.

Home seat: Newbury. Election day: I'm probably going to be walking around the constituency to see what sort of presence each party has at polling stations. I may talk to people about how their voting to see if I can gage if there's a realistic chance of the Conservatives losing the seat (which I highly doubt there is) and in an attempt to convince people to vote Lib Dem over Labour and the Greens to try and assist with beating the Tories. I've already convinced people to do this, so hopefully my small contribution can have an affect.  Election night: I'll be watching Sky News to begin with, as they're usually the fastest with getting results up on screen. I will probably move to the BBC Scotland coverage (which is usually shown on BBC Parliament) once the Scotland results start coming in, with Sky News being on either my laptop or my phone. I made it all the way through the EU referendum and Scottish Parliament coverage last year, as well as the 2015 election coverage (until I had to leave the house in the morning  ) and a large part of the 2014 Independence referendum coverage (until after Glasgow declared; I couldn't be bothered after that). I will no doubt make it through election night this year.

My home constituency is Bradford West, and normally I would be spending all day and night on the Bradford East Campaign. However for reasons beyond my control East is no longer a target seat (and my inclination to half kill myself on behalf of the party anywhere else is rather diminished by events) so I will be having a relatively quiet day. Practice meeting at lunchtime, baby clinic and surgery in the afternoon, leading the Saltaire Striders 5-10K group early evening, then off to my count at 10

After 40 years of spending significant amounts of time and money on the party, at some personal cost, recent events have robbed me of the desire to put myself out just at the moment. I wasn't let anyone down by pulling out of stuff I had committed to, and have done everything I would have done as a candidate in West, but am not inclined to go the extra mile.

Home seat Ross, Skye and Lochaber.
Not campaigning at all.
At medical Centre in village on Polling Day. Then to bed for a sleep before gearing up for TV about 00.30 on Friday.
At least 50-miles from another constituency so mutual aid not really a prospect.
This is the first GE since 1959 (inclusive) that I have not participated in at a practical level.

In the morning we shall be at the Hokusai exhibition at the British Museum. After lunch in a Korean restaurant, I shall return to Leyton and Wanstead and vote.
Theresa May has had some money from me to help pay for her wonderful election campaign, and she'll have to make do with that.

Please comment on the Hokusai in the 'Art Thread' with particular reference to the quality of the catalogue. |

For the first time in 1987, I won't be involved, I've got very expensive consultants in at work from California and leave is forbidden, mercifully they go back on Friday morning, so I can have Friday off. As I'm unlikely to get home much before 8pm, all I will do is vote.

I have spent too much time campaigning and really need to be working during the day. And as it is my daughter's birthday, I shall not be doing anything political after about 6 p.m.
However if as predicted it pisses down all day I may have to abandon work in which case I might as well go over to Cheltenham and try to be useful.

Work, vote, find useful info from tellers, post info on forum, go for a swim, come home for a nap, and get up at 9:45 for a quick shower, before starting the first of several excellent Welsh and Hampshire bitters that will help me enjoy the evening.

I'm mostly going to be annoying people on Twitter when #iVotedLabour inevitably starts trending.  I stopped helping out with the campaign after the manifesto launched. |

I won't be campaigning on polling day, after spending one day of each of the last four weekends in East Dunbartonshire.
I have finally caved in to all the emails from the party asking for financial support and so there will be a pony's worth of campaigning on polling day being done on my behalf.
