SWINDON went to the polls yesterday - or at least some of us did.

Voting turnout was only 34 per cent, meaning 66 per cent of potential voters stayed at home.

In total, 52,754 did head to their local polling station, compared to 62,166 only last year.

So what's behind the drop in turnout?

And we'd love to hear from some of the (approximately) 102,404 who didn't vote this time around.
