The prospect of having to take their own pen or pencil, wear a mask and possibly even wait outside did not put voters off from going to polling stations across Swindon yesterday. Even the rain showers couldn t stop some who were determined to have their say at the ballot box. Polling stations opened at 7am sharp – but 364 days late. Yesterday’s election for Swindon Borough Council, the Wiltshire and Swindon Police and Crime Commissioner and parish councils should have been held on May 7 last year but were put back 12 months at the start of the coronavirus crisis. Authorities had been urging people to vote by post but even with the possibility of longer waits many people preferred to go in person.
