Perm any 12 from 22 - 'Worse than doing the pools'
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment in history during the local elections of June 15th, 1973. In Haltemprice, voters were faced with an unprecedented choice as they had the opportunity to cast up to 12 votes among a staggering pool of 22 candidates. The overwhelming nature of this decision was humorously summed up by one voter who exclaimed, "Worse than doing the pools!". The image depicts a bustling polling station filled with electors eagerly exercising their democratic right. Nostalgia seeps through every corner as we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of seventies politics. The sign prominently displayed in the foreground serves as a reminder that these elections were not about personality but rather about choosing representatives for local council positions. Councils and councillors played crucial roles in shaping communities during this era, making these elections significant events for residents. This photograph is more than just a snapshot; it encapsulates an era when political engagement was at its peak and voting decisions carried weighty importance. As we gaze upon this historical gem, let us reflect on how far our democracy has come since then while cherishing those moments that remind us of our collective past.
