Generally Electing

Like so many others, I stopped off to vote on the way in to work this morning. I had three separate ballot papers: for the national government, for the local council and for the local mayor. 

I was particularly pleased to be able to vote for [local blogger Max Calo](http://maxink.wordpress.com/), who has done some great campaigning work in the area in recent years, and is standing for a council seat for the LibDems.

This has been the first general election of my adult life when the outcome feels very much in doubt. I’m looking forward to the counts and over-night coverage immensely. Are you?
