h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A reminder to the users of all h2g2 Election Discussion Boards.

In exactly the same way that political parties cease their campaigning for General Elections the night before polling, so this Discussion Board will be locked at 10pm on the evening of Wednesday 4 May.

This policy will remain in place throughout Election Day itself, Thursday 5 May 2005, until the polls close.

During this time, we ask all of our users not to start any conversations on other parts of the h2g2 site that could be perceived to be related to the Elections. Any such postings may be removed.

All other BBC Election Discussion Boards will also be closed throughout election day.

Many thanks,

The h2g2 Editors

So, after polling stations are closed, when all the votes are counted and we have a new (or the same) PM elected, can we then talk openly about the results, as it were, 'post-election' withtout the restrictions that have naturally been in place over the run up to the floppsy day of the election?

Absolutely. The moment that the polls close, the BBC comes out of special Election Conditions, and you can talk openly about the results - bearing in mind our standard House Rules about spamming, harassing and defamation!

Paully

so we will still not be able to talk about the Spam-eating habbits of the newly elected! *goes to sharpen his daggers for the post election scrum down

Erm.

I can't post to the proportional representation forum.

Why?
