What are your voting day rituals?

Unless you’ve been hiding under a quiet bridge for the past five weeks, you’ll know that today is election day. Soon, all the campaigning will be over. We won’t have to see desperate photos of politicians in hi-vis jackets, we won’t hear anyone bang on about “the note that Liam Byrne left”, and we won’t be reluctant to answer the door for fear it’s a young Lib Dem keen to talk to us. But before we wave goodbye to the election campaign of 2015, we want you to tell us if you have any voting day rituals. Do you wear your lucky underpants? Do you take your children with you to vote? Perhaps you vote first thing so that you can bore everyone around you with your early start? Do you campaign on social media to get others out to the polling station? Tell us how you spend election day.

• While polls remain open please refrain from disclosing your voting choices. Any comment declaring how you cast your vote will be removed by moderators owing to restrictions on polls and reporting, set out in article 66A of the Representation of the People Act 1983. Once all polling stations have closed this restriction will be lifted. Thank you for your cooperation.
